Managed Prometheus, now in beta

Metrics on the same terms as logs. Managed Prometheus is open in beta: a remote write endpoint and PromQL over a cluster you size by tier and node count, priced the same way as our OpenSearch service.

Why it is the same shape as the OpenSearch service

Metrics vendors mostly charge by the series or the sample, which turns every new label into a budget decision. Teams respond by dropping cardinality, which is to say by throwing away the detail that makes a metric worth having, and they usually discover which labels they needed during an incident.

Charging for the cluster removes that conversation. Send what you want to send. The bill is the tier and the node count, the same two numbers as an OpenSearch cluster.

What it is

A Prometheus-compatible cluster with a remote write receiver in front of it, so your existing Prometheus servers and agents can ship to it without changing how they scrape. Queries are PromQL. Grafana and anything else that speaks the Prometheus API point straight at it.

Centralising the metrics from several clusters into one place to query is the case it fits best, and it is the reason we built it in this order.

Beta means beta

It is open to everyone and it is genuinely early. We want to hear what breaks and what is missing before the shape of it is settled.

Create one in the console or through the Terraform provider. Tell us how it goes: hello@clusternest.com.
