Included in your Grafana Cloud stack is a massively scalable, high-performance, and highly available Prometheus instance. Bring together the raw, unsampled metrics for all your applications and infrastructure, spread around the globe, in one place. Query high cardinality data with blazing fast PromQL and Graphite queries. Centralize the analysis, visualization, and alerting on all of your metrics. 

• Multi-tenant, highly scalable Prometheus metrics storage
• Custom long-term retention at 13 months
• Single query endpoint centralizing all individual Prometheus instances

With Grafana Cloud alerting, a simple UI embedded right in your Grafana instance can be used to manage alerts — allowing your alerting to become self-service. Create, manage, and silence all of your alerts within one simple Grafana Cloud alerting page. All these options are also available via a RESTful API with tooling to enable a GitOps-style workflow.

Grafana Cloud also allows Prometheus-style alerting on the contents of the logs. A unified experience allows you to manage alerting rules for both metrics and logs directly in Grafana. This is especially useful for third-party systems that don’t export metrics.
