InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
That's where JIT credentials come into play for people that need to install their own software. You can fairly easily set up something like that with LAPS or Lithnet (or both, https://github.com/lithnet/access-manager). If you have that many endpoints that need that much admin access, then any sort of ransomware is going to mess things up real fast if it gets in, and you'll be spending a lot more than 30-40 hours just getting things back up and running.
