Architected for Performance

Chronosphere is built to handle data from small to planet-scale workloads. Flexible deployment and configuration options ensure optimal performance regardless of your needs.

Chronosphere Collector

The Chronosphere Collector offers a highly scalable and efficient way to collect metrics and traces from your environment. Deploy a lightweight Collector on each node, eliminating the need for large, resource-intensive Prometheus instances.

Chronosphere Collector simplifies data collection with full support for a wide range of formats, including:

  • Prometheus and OpenTelemetry
  • DogStatsD, StatsD, and Carbon
  • Pushgateway
  • SignalFx and Wavefront

While scraping metric endpoints is the preferred method, the Collector offers flexible ingestion options to suit your needs.
