Reducing Observability Costs: A Path to Long-Term Control

Thursday, March 22, 2023 | 10:00 A.M. – 10:30 A.M. PT

With observability costs skyrocketing due to the high cardinality of cloud-native environments, many companies are mandating cuts, or caps, to control spending. This puts observability teams in a precarious position – Everyone knows there is waste, but using traditional tools to identify and remove it is risky and takes time. A wrong decision can make troubleshooting harder and lead to lengthy incidents and outages.

The Chronosphere Control Plane provides a unique set of tools to help analyze and shape your observability data to reduce costs while fulfilling your existing dashboard and alerting needs. It allows you to control long-term data growth while ensuring your engineers have the necessary information to do their jobs.

In this session, we will demo how the Chronosphere Control Plane helps:

• Set Quotas by service, team, etc. to contain  cardinality explosions and overages
• Analyze any metric to understand how much it is used, where, and by whom to weigh cost vs. utility
• Apply aggregations to shape raw metric data volumes to improve performance and reduce costs
• Automatically optimize slow queries to ensure dashboards are performant
