High-value data with Grafana Cloud Adaptive Telemetry

Align observability cost to value by automatically cutting low-value data and keeping the insights that matter with Adaptive Telemetry.

Cut costs, not visibility

Automatically aggregate, sample, or drop low-value data to reduce noise and keep the signals that matter most

Faster troubleshooting, less noise

Surface only valuable telemetry. Reduce alert fatigue and accelerate incident resolution

Scale monitoring without scaling costs

Expand coverage across more services and environments. Adaptive Telemetry optimizes continuously as you grow

Trusted by everyone from startups to the Fortune 500

Why use Adaptive Telemetry in Grafana Cloud?

Troubleshoot faster with less alert fatigue

  • Accelerate resolution by making sure the right signals are surfaced quickly so teams spend less time digging through data and more time finding the root cause 

  • Protect the data that matters by using exemptions to preserve specific signals critical to your operations

Control observability spend without losing visibility

  • Prevent runaway spending by dropping low-value telemetry that teams don’t use

  • Apply the same cost control strategy across metrics, logs, traces, and profiles for more predictable spend

Save engineering time with hands-free optimization

  • Get recommendations to curate your environment, which adapts as your usage patterns and environment evolves 

  • See updated recommendations that adjust automatically as new services, alerts, or dashboards are added

One solution for all your telemetry

  • Adaptive Metrics: Reduces high-cardinality and low-value metrics so engineers keep the trends that matter without the volume that doesn’t

  • Adaptive Logs: Identifies repetitive log patterns and recommends dropping unused telemetry to reduce noise and storage

  • Adaptive Traces: Uses a tail sampling approach to retain and surface only your most valuable traces 

  • Adaptive Profiles: Dynamically adjusts profiling data collection based on workload behavior

Real stories from real customers

“Before, we struggled with runaway costs. Now [Adaptive Traces] gives us the control to filter high-volume, low-value traces without sacrificing the critical visibility our engineers need nor forcing them to spend precious time building this type of solution themselves.”
