It’s curios if you used Prometheus as well
Comment on Observability Stack?

If you’re wanting to go hard in the paint here, Grafana has a great OSS stack with Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, and Alloy.

Mimir and Alloy are two specialised forks of Prometheus

How are they specialized?

Mimir is just the DB, no metric scrapers, but it’s distributed and capable of high volume ingestion, retention and querying. Can’t scrape metrics though.
Alloy has no storage persistence, but is massively scalable, its basically a Prometheus Agent on steroids. Can do logs, traces, Pyroscope profiles too.
So instead of deploying one server to scrape and store metrics, you deploy one to store and one to scrape.
dandiandy@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago It looks really compelling. Really flexible with deep options. Seems like I could spend 10 years building the dashboard alone!

I stood up grafana at work, and I make dashboards to keep my role secure.
Everyone uses my shitty little dashboards :)

Can confirm it’s a great stack! We run it at my work and its quite nice to work with. I’ve been thinking of replacing Prometheus in my homelab with Alloy
