📢 ThanosCon happened on 19th March 2024 as a co-located half-day on KubeCon EU in Paris.
Overview
Thanos is a set of components that can be composed into a highly available metric system with unlimited storage capacity, which can be added seamlessly on top of existing Prometheus deployments.
Thanos is a CNCF Incubating project.
Thanos leverages the Prometheus 2.0 storage format to cost-efficiently store historical metric data in any object storage while retaining fast query latencies. Additionally, it provides a global query view across all Prometheus installations and can merge data from Prometheus HA pairs on the fly.
Concretely the aims of the project are:
- Global query view of metrics.
- Unlimited retention of metrics.
- High availability of components, including Prometheus.
Getting Started
Features
- Global querying view across all connected Prometheus servers
- Deduplication and merging of metrics collected from Prometheus HA pairs
- Seamless integration with existing Prometheus setups
- Any object storage as its only, optional dependency
- Downsampling historical data for massive query speedup
- Cross-cluster federation
- Fault-tolerant query routing
- Simple gRPC "Store API" for unified data access across all metric data
- Easy integration points for custom metric providers
Architecture Overview
Deployment with Sidecar for Kubernetes:
Deployment with Receive in order to scale out or implement with other remote write compatible sources:
Thanos Philosophy
The philosophy of Thanos and our community is borrowing much from UNIX philosophy and the golang programming language.
- Each subcommand should do one thing and do it well
- e.g. thanos query proxies incoming calls to known store API endpoints merging the result
- Write components that work together
- e.g. blocks should be stored in native prometheus format
- Make it easy to read, write, and, run components
- e.g. reduce complexity in system design and implementation
Releases
Main branch should be stable and usable. Every commit to main builds docker image named main-<date>-<sha> in quay.io/thanos/thanos and thanosio/thanos dockerhub (mirror)
We also perform minor releases every 6 weeks.
During that, we build tarballs for major platforms and release docker images.
See release process docs for details.
