Metrics as a Service model with InfluxDB
Metrics as a Service is a concept that combines centralization resource efficiency and maximum value extraction from data, but also and most importantly, it lowers the barrier to start using time series data to drive more accurate planning and decision making. In traditional approaches to monitoring metrics collection, much effort and overhead is placed into setting up and running the monitoring solution, with limited value extracted from the data collected. With a service model approach, we invert the pyramid, facilitating teams to adopt data processing frameworks to extract more and valuable information quickly and at minimal incremental cost.
InfluxDB was purpose-built to provide a time-series platform that operates with high performance at scale, allowing for centralized ingestion, analysis, visualization, alert and storage of all monitoring data and respective metadata collected across the organization. InfluxDB is ecosystem and cloud friendly keeping your data asset “fluid” for maximum value extraction. And most importantly, it keeps pace with the speed and analytical needs of modern environments enabling more accurate predictive modeling, intelligent alerting and priceless real-time actions.
