VictoriaMetrics is a fast, cost-effective and scalable monitoring solution and time series database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It supports the Prometheus pull model and various push protocols (Graphite, InfluxDB, OpenTSDB) for data ingestion. It is optimized for storage with high-latency IO, low IOPS and time series with high churn rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For reading the data and evaluating alerting rules, VictoriaMetrics supports the PromQL, MetricsQL and Graphite query languages. VictoriaMetrics Single is fully autonomous and can be used as a long-term storage for time series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VictoriaMetrics Single can easily handle 10M+ of active time series on a single instance. It is perfect for small and medium environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
