Adaptive Profiles
Note
Adaptive Profiles is currently in private preview. Grafana Labs offers support on a best-effort basis, and breaking changes might occur prior to the feature being made generally available.
Continuously profile every service at a reduced sample rate, with full-resolution boosts on demand.
Overview
Adaptive Profiles lets you keep continuous profiling on for every service in your stack without paying for full-resolution data you don’t need. Each service runs at a 10% profiling sample rate by default. When you need more detail, Adaptive Profiles boosts a service to full resolution on demand, or automatically after a deployment, then returns to the default rate when the boost expires.
Why use Adaptive Profiles?
With Adaptive Profiles, you can profile every service in your stack continuously instead of having to choose which to leave out. You keep cost predictable, and still get full-resolution data at the moments that matter most, such as after a deployment or during a performance investigation.
