Thanos
Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities
Thanos is an open-source project that extends Prometheus with high availability and long-term storage capabilities. It enables global querying across multiple Prometheus servers and clusters, and supports unlimited metric retention via object storage providers like GCP, S3, and Azure. It also provides downsampling and compaction for efficient querying over large time ranges.
Thanos sits alongside Prometheus instances, federating queries across clusters and offloading metrics to object storage for unlimited retention and downsampling.
