The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
Grafana Tempo also switched from Protobuf storage format to Apache Parquet last year. It's fully open source, and the proposal is here: https://github.com/grafana/tempo/blob/main/docs/design-propo...
disclosure: I work for Grafana!

Monitoring and Testing Cloud Native APIs with Grafana
By combining Grafana Tempo with Tracetest, you can create a robust solution for monitoring and testing APIs with distributed tracing.

Introducing Tempo: low latency, cross-platform, end-to-end typesafe APIs
Last point: There's already a major open source project in the backend space called Tempo. You may want to reconsider the name.

Waffles, Fries, Beer and Developers; Notes from FOSDEM 2023
I started the day with some Rust and spent the rest of the day in the Monitoring and Observability DevRoom. Most of the talks I attended were about OpenTelemetry and were very Grafana Labs-heavy. I knew Grafana and, to a less extent, Loki, and I had never seen Tempo (distributed tracing) and Phlare (profiling), and Mimir (backend for metrics, more backend-y than Prometheus?).

Thoughts on Opentelemetry?
Grafana Tempo yes. Integrates seamlessly with Grafana (the dashboarding)

Monitoring Is a Pain
It consists of 6 separate components to run, plus 4 additional optional components [1]. And I don't even count 5 additional caches [2]. How is that "simple and easy"?

Is anyone frustrated with anything about Prometheus?
Yes, but also no. The Prometheus ecosystem already has two FOSS time-series databases that are complementary to Prometheus itself. Thanos and Mimir. Not to mention M3db, developed at Uber, and Cortex, then ancestor of Mimir. There's a bunch of others I won't mention as it would take too long.

Does anyone have an example of a simple mimir monolith docker compose config?
I used the one in their tutorial.

NTOP experience?
Grafana Agent can collect and stream data via Prometheus remote write protocol. Then you can either use Prometheus or Mimir. to receive the data at a central location. It depends on how many millions of series you need to collect.
- Prometheus node exporter and cadvisor to send metrics to central prometheus cluster

Thousandeyes Pricing Model
Long term storage all depends on your needs and sophistication. I use Thanos for our system since it has an extremely flexible scaling system. But there is also Grafana Mimir. They're both similar in that they use Prometheus TSDB format as part of the underlying storage. One nice Thanos advantage is that it does do downsampling in addition to being able to store raw metric data for a long time. It will auto-select downsampled data to make requests faster.

Best unicorn monitoring system?
Depending on how you want to set things up, you can use Thanos or Mimir to create the single-pane-of-glass view of your data.
- Centralized solution for Prometheus?
