We’re happy to announce that VictoriaMetrics, open source time-series database and monitoring solution, and IHI Terrasun Solutions, a leading energy storage system integrator, have partnered on one of North America’s largest clean energy projects! The Gemini Solar + Storage project, which is carefully situated on less than 5,000 acres, is designed to provide clean energy for up to 10% of Nevada’s electricity needs during peak use times.

vmstorage is the component in VictoriaMetrics that handles long-term storage of monitoring data. It receives data from vminsert, organizes the data into efficient storage structures, and manages how long data is kept. Before vminsert even sees the data, agents are out there collecting it, these agents gather metrics from different sources, hold onto the data briefly, and then send it over to vminsert in batches.

Azure linux is a Linux distribution built for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. It can be used as a base OS when creating node pools in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Using Azure linux as a base OS for AKS node pools has several benefits, such as lower resources footprint, faster boot times, and better security.

Time series databases allow you to store and query metrics efficiently. For example, if you want to forecast load on your servers, or identify intermittent faults with your production services, time series databases can help. Besides infrastructure monitoring, time series databases have been invaluable in finance, IoT applications, manufacturing, and more. Many time series databases, including VictoriaMetrics, are open source.

Last week, I saw a user asking for help on Slack: Note: The screenshot was taken in the UTC+8 timezone, so the high churn rate at 8:00 AM occurs at 0:00 AM UTC.

I don’t understand why pure open-source licenses, such as Apache2, MIT or BSD, should be replaced with a source available license in order to increase profits from enterprise support contracts. That’s why we at VictoriaMetrics aren’t going to change the Apache2 license for our products. Our main goal is to provide good products to users, and to help users use these products in the most efficient way.

We’re happy to announce VictoriaMetrics Cloud, a hosted monitoring platform and managed service for metrics that allows organizations to monitor and store large amounts of time-series data, without having to run the underlying infrastructure.
