Grafana dashboards are most effective when they are layered with context.

In a previous blog we learnt about setting up a Scalable Prometheus-Thanos monitoring stack. We also learnt about how we can cluster multiple Prometheus servers with the help of Thanos and then deduplicate metrics and alerts across them.

If you would like to learn more about it please book a demo with us, or sign up for the free trial today.
