Optimizing metrics ingestion with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus

This article discusses how to optimize metrics ingestion with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP), focusing on managing metrics collection at scale in complex cloud environments.

• Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus now supports label-based active series limits to control metric ingestion
• Key metrics for monitoring include IngestionRate, ActiveSeries, QueryMetricsTPS, and DiscardedSamples
• New feature allows setting specific quotas for different metric producers using label sets
• Benefits include:
  • Preventing noisy neighbors from overwhelming workspaces
  • Enforcing fair usage policies
  • Maintaining high availability for critical systems
• New CloudWatch metrics provide enhanced visibility into workspace performance

The solution helps organizations control metric volume, optimize costs, and maintain operational efficiency in multi-account and multi-tenant cloud environments.
