  3. thanos

    Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.

    You can build/host your own streaming receiver. It depends a bit on how many deployments, and how much data they will send. The main receiver solutions I recommend are THanos, Cortex, and M3DB. All of these are highly scaleable multi-tenant systems.

  4. prometheus

    The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

    Prometheus

  5. agent

    Vendor-neutral programmable observability pipelines. (by grafana)

    If that sounds like too much, you can pay companies like Grafana for their cloud hosting service. The Grafana service can receive both your monitoring metrics, as well as your log streams.
