Metrics: Unmatched Scalability, Reliability, and Performance

UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR METRIC DATA

Designed for modern enterprises demanding high performance, scalability, and comprehensive insights, Chronosphere Metrics is purpose-built to manage high-volume and high-cardinality metric data generated by containerized microservices architectures.

Battle-Tested Platform

Born from the need to handle Uber's massive scale and complexity, Chronosphere Metrics was developed by the engineers who built M3DB and managed observability at one of the world's largest and most demanding environments. Our platform is battle-tested and proven to deliver under the most challenging conditions, giving you confidence that Chronosphere can handle your observability needs, no matter the scale.

Metrics Key Features

Metric Optimization Control

CONTROL COSTS WITHOUT SACRIFICING VISIBILITY
Significant increases in metric volume and sudden cardinality spikes can wreak havoc on your observability budget. The Chronosphere Control Plane offers the insights and tools necessary to analyze, shape, and transform your metric data, enabling you to control costs without sacrificing visibility.

• Set Quotas: Implement quotas by service, team, and more to contain cardinality explosions and prevent overages.
• Real-Time Analysis: Identify the causes of cardinality spikes and evaluate the value each metric delivers based on usage, frequency, and user.
• Apply Shaping Policies: Eliminate waste and optimize metrics through shaping policies that focus on the value they provide.

Differential Diagnosis (DDx)

FASTER METRIC ANOMALY ANALYSIS. SIMPLER DASHBOARDS

• See something weird? DDx it! Automatic correlation across all metric dimensions shows you what changed—instantly.
• Less guesswork, more answers - Smart insights + a queryless workflow = enable faster hypothesis testing to get the root cause faster.
• No more blind spots - Reveal hidden dimensions in simplified metrics like Recording Rules.
• Find Your Metric Monitoring Zen - Ditch cluttered dashboards and noisy alerts. Limit the details and the required upkeep. When you need to dive deep, DDx has your back.

Support for Multiple Metrics Formats

Chronosphere supports a wide variety of metric formats, both open-source and proprietary, including:

• Prometheus
• OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP)
• Graphite (StatsD, Carbon)
• OpenMetrics
• DogStatsD
• SignalFx
• Wavefront
