About Grafana Phlare tenant IDs

In March 2023, Grafana Labs acquired Pyroscope, the company behind the eponymous open source continuous profiling project. As a result, the Pyroscope and Grafana Phlare projects will be merged under the new name Grafana Pyroscope. To learn more, read our recent blog post about the news.

Grafana Phlare is a multi-tenant system where tenants can query profiles that include their tenant ID. Within a Grafana Phlare cluster, the tenant ID is the unique identifier of a tenant. The query takes the tenant ID from the X-Scope-OrgID parameter that exists in the HTTP header of each request, for example X-Scope-OrgID: <TENANT-ID>.

To push profiles to Grafana Phlare for a specific tenant refer to Configure the Agent.
