Database

VictoriaMetrics agent, or vmagent, is a lightweight tool designed to gather metrics from a number of different sources. Once it pulls in all those metrics, vmagent lets you ‘design’ them (through ‘relabeling’) or filter them down (doing things like reducing cardinality, stream aggregation, deduplication, and so on) before shipping them off to wherever you want to store them.

Time series databases are essential tools in any software engineer’s toolbelt. Their development has been shaped by user needs and countless open source contributors, leading to the healthy ecosystem of options we see today. In this article, you’ll see how time series databases came about, and why so many are open source.

We’re happy to announce VictoriaMetrics Cloud, a hosted monitoring platform and managed service for metrics that allows organizations to monitor and store large amounts of time-series data, without having to run the underlying infrastructure.
