Metrics overview | Grafana Cloud

Grafana Cloud Metrics helps teams monitor their systems and manage growing metric volume without losing the detail they need to understand what’s happening.

As applications and infrastructure grow, so do the metrics teams collect, query, and pay for. Grafana Cloud Metrics is a fully managed metrics service, so Grafana handles the infrastructure and maintenance while your team uses familiar dashboards, queries, and alerts to monitor services and troubleshoot issues.

You can explore metrics and investigate what’s happening with Grafana Assistant using natural language. Ask it questions about your metrics, then turn the results into visualizations, dashboards, and alerts. Adaptive Metrics also looks at how your team uses metrics across dashboards, alerts, recording rules, and queries. It recommends ways to aggregate underused metric data into lower-cardinality versions, helping reduce volume and costs while keeping the metrics your team relies on.

Built around open standards, Grafana Cloud Metrics supports Prometheus and OpenTelemetry, with Grafana Alloy and other compatible collectors to help keep your instrumentation portable and flexible.
