Grafana Mimir Scaling dashboard
The Scaling dashboard displays services that you can optionally scale up in the event of a failure caused by one or more reasons.
Use this dashboard for the following use cases:
- Identify which Mimir components require scaling in response to specific failures or performance issues.
- Review metrics for individual Mimir services, such as CPU usage versus request rates, to pinpoint which components are experiencing high load.
- Integrate with Mimir runbooks for detailed guidance on scaling strategies for various components.
Example
The following example shows a Scaling dashboard from a demo cluster.
