Full-Stack Observability with VictoriaMetrics in the OTel Demo

The OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop demo has long served as a reference environment for exploring observability in distributed systems, but until now it shipped with only a Prometheus datasource. VictoriaMetrics forked the demo and extended it with VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, and VictoriaTraces, providing insights into VictoriaMetrics’ observability stack where metrics, logs, and traces flow into a unified backend.

Alerting Best Practices

Proper alerting is an art. It is all about foreseeing bad scenarios before they happen, so you can prepare for them. In this article, we go through practical recommendations of approaching the alerting to reduce alerting fatigue and avoid false positives.

vmagent: Key Features Explained in Under 15 Minutes

vmagent is a lightweight agent for collecting and forwarding metrics to remote storage. It supports relabeling, sharding, replication, aggregation, deduplication, and disk buffering to ensure reliable and efficient metric delivery.

VictoriaMetrics Components: Getting Started

VictoriaMetrics is a fast, scalable monitoring system made of modular components like vminsert, vmstorage, and vmselect. It supports both single-node and clustered setups, along with tools for backup, restore, alerting, access control, and data migration. Data can be ingested, stored, queried, backed up, and restored with high performance and minimal resource use.

Prometheus Monitoring: Functions, Subqueries, Operators, and Modifiers

Prometheus querying involves multiple moving parts: functions, operators, modifiers, and subqueries. Small differences in how vectors are handled or rollups are applied can lead to completely different outcomes or errors. MetricsQL extends PromQL by handling these edge cases more gracefully with features like default rollups.
