Last month, we announced the early availability of Aiven for Metrics, and as of today it is generally available!

Metrics are ready for primetime

Now that it's GA, Aiven for Metrics is ready for production workloads. Let's review what makes this new service special.

  • Aggregated Prometheus metrics
    Aiven for Metrics is powered by Thanos, a solution for scaling Prometheus metrics. As such it provides a global query view, where you can execute queries across multiple Prometheus servers in a single place.
  • Cost effective retention
    Aiven for Metrics automatically moves older content to low cost object storage to ensure that as your data grows, it can be kept for as long as you need it without breaking the bank.
  • Integrated Aiven metrics
    From the Aiven console, any other Aiven service can be configured to send metrics to Aiven for Metrics in just a few clicks. In turn, Aiven for Metrics can send its data to Aiven for Grafana for pre-built visualizations.

Get started

Aiven for Metrics is ready to be launched from your Aiven console. If you have existing metrics in Aiven for M3 or Aiven for InfluxDB, we've provided tools to migrate and replicate that data to Aiven for Metrics.
