Note that single-node VictoriaMetrics can also discover and scrape Prometheus-compatible targets in the same way as vmagent does. * Can add, remove and modify labels (aka tags) via Prometheus relabeling. * Can filter data before sending it to remote storage. * Can accept data via all the ingestion protocols supported by VictoriaMetrics. * Can aggregate incoming samples by time and by labels before sending them to remote storage. * Can replicate collected metrics simultaneously to multiple Prometheus-compatible remote storage systems. * Can save egress network bandwidth usage costs when VictoriaMetrics remote write protocol is used for sending the data to VictoriaMetrics. * Works smoothly in environments with unstable connections to remote storage. If the remote storage is unavailable, the collected metrics are buffered at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath`. The buffered metrics are sent to remote storage as soon as the connection to the remote storage is repaired. The maximum disk usage for the buffer can be limited with `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`. * Uses lower amounts of RAM, CPU, disk IO and network bandwidth than Prometheus. * Scrape targets can be spread among multiple vmagent instances when big number of targets must be scraped. * Can load scrape configs from multiple files. * Can efficiently scrape targets that expose millions of time series such as `/federate` endpoint in Prometheus. * Can deal with high cardinality and high churn rate issues by limiting the number of unique time series at scrape time and before sending them to remote storage systems. * Can write collected metrics to multiple tenants. ### Package name * vmagent --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 24 April 2024 - latest/stable * 24 April 2024 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.
