Remetric: find waste in self-hosted Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki
Remetric is a new tool designed to identify inefficiencies in self-hosted Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki setups. It analyzes common waste patterns such as cardinality explosion, unused metrics, alert hygiene, and broken panels. The tool operates as a single static binary, making it easy to integrate into CI workflows without requiring a runtime installation.
- ▪Remetric addresses issues like label explosion and unused metrics in Prometheus stacks.
- ▪It provides actionable findings by querying existing APIs and running scheduled scans.
- ▪The tool is compatible with Grafana Cloud, utilizing the same HTTP APIs as self-hosted versions.
