Read-Write mode (读写模式) - Metrics

The read-write mode provides an alternative to monolithic and microservices modes.

In read-write mode, components are grouped into three services to ease the operational overhead whilst still allowing scale to be tuned separately on the read and write paths. The services group the components as follows:

• read
  • query-frontend
  • querier
• backend
  • store-gateway
  • compactor
  • (optional) ruler
  • (optional) alertmanager
  • (optional) query-scheduler
  • (optional) overrides-exporter
• write
  • distributor
  • ingester

Similar to the other modes, each Grafana Mimir process is invoked with its -target parameter set to the specific service: -target=read, -target=write, or -target=backend.

Quick Start

Install dependencies tools

git clone https://github.com/qclaogui/codelab-monitoring.git && cd "$(basename "$_" .git)"

make install-build-deps

Create a cluster and mapping the ingress port 80 to localhost:8080

make cluster

Deploy manifests

make deploy-read-write-mode-metrics

Once all containers are up and running you can search for metrics in Grafana.

Navigate to http://localhost:8080/explore and select the search tab.

Clean up

make delete-read-write-mode-metrics
