Grafana Mimir
Grafana Mimir is an open source software project that provides horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long-term storage for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry metrics.
Overview
Grafana Mimir enables users to ingest Prometheus or OpenTelemetry metrics, run queries, create new data through the use of recording rules, and set up alerting rules across multiple tenants to leverage tenant federation. Once deployed, the best-practice dashboards, alerts, and runbooks packaged with Grafana Mimir make it easy to monitor the health of the system.

Whether you’re an operator or user, you have some decisions to make and actions to take. Read about exemplars, tools, runbooks, and more to help you take the right decisions and actions for your operation.
Query metric labels
Query metric data from Grafana Mimir through the use of Grafana or the Grafana Mimir HTTP API. Learn how to query Prometheus data from within Mimir.
Visualize data
Query, visualize, and explore your metrics using Grafana, an open platform for metrics visualization. It supports multiple data stores including Prometheus. You can also visualize native histograms through Grafana Mimir since they are a Prometheus data type.
