SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Grafana Mimir provides horizontally scalable, multi-tenant, long-term storage for Prometheus metrics, simplifying high-volume metric retention and efficient query performance across clusters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Horizontal scalability and high availability for Prometheus/OpenTelemetry metrics across tenants.
  • Deployment flexibility with monolithic and microservices/Kubernetes modes, plus remote_write integration.
  • Architecture components include Distributor, Ingester, Compactor, Querier, Query-Frontend, Store-Gateway, Ruler, and Alertmanager for end-to-end observability pipelines.
  • Use cases include long-term storage, multi-tenant dashboards, multi-cluster monitoring, and scalable metrics querying with PromQL.

Quick Start

Deploy a monolithic Mimir cluster using a sample configuration and verify metrics ingestion end-to-end.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up scalable long-term metrics storage for Prometheus across multiple tenants?

Grafana Mimir provides horizontally scalable, multi-tenant long-term metrics storage for Prometheus, automating deployment and management for high-volume metric retention across clusters.

What is the best way to scale Prometheus metrics storage for multi-cluster monitoring?

Scaling Prometheus metrics storage for multi-cluster monitoring is best handled by Grafana Mimir, which supports distributed components like Distributor, Ingester, and Store-Gateway for high availability and efficient querying.

Can I deploy Grafana Mimir in microservices mode on Kubernetes?

Yes, Grafana Mimir supports both monolithic and microservices deployment modes on Kubernetes, allowing you to deploy distributed components like Querier, Compactor, and Ruler for end-to-end observability pipelines.

Does Grafana Mimir support remote_write and PromQL querying for multi-tenant dashboards?

Grafana Mimir supports remote_write integration and PromQL querying, enabling multi-tenant dashboards and scalable metrics querying across clusters for long-term storage and observability.

What components are included in a Grafana Mimir distributed metrics storage deployment?

A Grafana Mimir deployment includes Distributor, Ingester, Compactor, Querier, Query-Frontend, Store-Gateway, Ruler, and Alertmanager components for scalable, multi-tenant metrics storage and querying.

When do I need horizontally scalable metrics storage instead of standard Prometheus?

You need horizontally scalable metrics storage like Mimir when managing high-volume metric retention, multi-tenant environments, or multi-cluster monitoring that exceeds standard Prometheus capacity and query performance.
