Destination reached!

Congratulations on completing this journey! Job well done!

We hope you’ve enjoyed traveling with us as you:

• Reduced metric cardinality while preserving dashboard and alert fidelity
• Reviewed and safely applied optimization recommendations
• Created custom aggregation, drop rules, and exemptions to protect critical series
• Segmented metrics for team and service ownership
• Enabled auto-apply for continuous, hands-off optimization
• Monitored results to validate cost and performance impact

Where to next?

Now that your metrics are optimized, you can:

• Reduce noisy log data and manage ingestion volume with Adaptive Logs: Refer to Adaptive Logs
• Sample and prioritize trace data efficiently using Adaptive Traces: Refer to Adaptive Traces
• Monitor long-term savings and usage trends: Refer to Understand metrics usage and cost
• Automate metric optimization at scale via Terraform or API workflows: Refer to Adaptive Metrics Terraform provider and Adaptive Metrics API
