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

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

make up-read-write-mode-metrics

That's it.

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

Navigate to http://localhost:3000/explore and select the search tab.
