Native Histograms

Native histograms are a data type in Prometheus that can produce, store, and query high-resolution histograms of observations. It usually offers higher resolution and more straightforward instrumentation than classic histograms.

If you would like more information, you can take a look at the video presented at the conference.

Key user benefits of using Native Histograms:

Improved resolution for the left tail of distributions: The exponentially growing buckets are able to better represent the smallest sample values in the distribution.

Automatic adjustment: Exponential bucket ranges are adjusted based on observed values over time, eliminating the need for developers to manually adjust bucket ranges.
