When managing distributed architectures, accounting for the cost of sorting, indexing and accessing data is as critical as observability. Chronosphere takes a unique approach to cost management, tracking the use of observability data so that organizations can consider the cost-value trade-offs of various metrics. With the help of the Metrics Usage Analyzer, part of the Chronosphere Control Plane, teams can identify and exclude metrics they rarely (or never) use, thus yielding significant cost savings by reducing the amount of data organizations have to comb through. Given these advantages, as well as the ability of Chronosphere to match the functionality of other observability tools for cloud-hosted solutions, we believe it to be a compelling option for organizations to look into.
