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.

In our fourth VictoriaMetrics Tech Talks episode, we wrapped up our deep dive into logs and summarized the key takeaways for effective log management.
