Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : thanos Version : 0.30.2 Upstream Contact: thanos...@googlegroups.com * URL : https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities
Thanos is a set of components that can be composed into a highly available metric system with unlimited storage capacity, which can be added seamlessly on top of existing Prometheus deployments. Thanos leverages the Prometheus 2.0 storage format to cost-efficiently store historical metric data in any object storage while retaining fast query latencies. Additionally, it provides a global query view across all Prometheus installations and can merge data from Prometheus HA pairs on the fly. IMO a main feature is the compatctor, which allows to downsample the metrics taken from Prometheus to series of various resolution (which it then automatically selects, AFAIU, when these are queried e.g. via Grafana). This makes it possible to store years of data (in lowered resolutions, instead of the high resolution raw metrics from Prometheus)... and also greatly speeds up queriying. Cheers, Chris.
