Optimize your metrics with Adaptive Metrics

Use this interactive guide to learn how Adaptive Metrics helps you reduce metrics volume and cost safely by recommending aggregations for unused or high-cardinality time series.

You’ll explore where Adaptive Metrics lives in Grafana Cloud, review how recommendations are generated from query usage, create custom rules and exemptions, scope changes per team with segments, and enable auto-apply to keep your configuration up to date as your environment evolves.

Before you begin

Before you start, ensure you have:

  • Metrics ingested into Grafana Cloud.
  • Basic familiarity with querying and exploring metrics in Grafana.
  • An understanding of how metric volume, cardinality, and query behavior affect storage and cost.
