Prometheus Native Histograms in Production - Björn Rabenstein, Grafana Labs
The new Prometheus native histograms are still marked as an experimental feature. That doesn't keep some of us from trying them out in production. Beorn will present first results from native histogram usage “in the wild”. Are they living up to the high expectations? What works well? And what needs more work? Most importantly, the talk will cover performance characteristics when turning up the resolution or when generously partitioning a histogram along multiple dimensions. Another theme is the data collection side, including topics like native histogram adoption in instrumentation libraries and OpenTelemetry interoperability.
