Metrics as a Service with InfluxDB

Why Metrics as a Service?

Metrics as a Service (MaaS) is a concept that combines centralization resource efficiency, overhead offload and maximum value extraction from the data collected organization-wide. All data converging to one platform, available in one pane, allows much richer visualization and analytics across multiple data sources and data types.

Key advantages of MaaS:

• Removes silos’ inefficiencies
• Reduce operational workload while providing agile response to multiple audiences with diverse monitoring requirements
• Enable data enrichment, correlation and complex analytics for more insightful information
• Supports real-time stream processing, alerting and anomaly detection
• Removes barriers to adopting data-driven culture

What is the InfluxData Metrics as a Service with InfluxDB solution?

Metrics as a Service (MaaS) with InfluxDB gives you functionalities to sustain centralized growth, availability and durability of the data:

• High availability clustering
• Horizontal scalability
• High ingest/query performance
• Storage efficiency
• Single pane for holistic visualization of key performance indicators.

Furthermore, InfluxDB provides extended functionalities and workflow automation for an easy-to-use, one-stop shop for metrics:

• Real-time stream processing for effective alerting, optimizations at ingest as well as anomaly detection when integrated with Machine Learning frameworks
• Powerful query and scripting engine that performs complex analytics over multiple data sources, enabling early detection of issues and fast root-cause diagnosis
• Automation of data lifecycle management with retention policies, automated rollups, and eviction

Why use the InfluxDB platform for Metrics as a Service?

• Detect anomalies and act while it still matters
• Handle growing workload of targeted monitoring requirements
• Provide fastest time to an awesome data-driven culture
