summary: VictoriaMetrics is fast, cost-effective and scalable time-series database.
description: |
  * VictoriaMetrics can be used as long-term storage for Prometheus or for vmagent.
  See [these docs](#prometheus-setup) for details.
  * Supports Prometheus querying API, so it can be used as Prometheus drop-in replacement in Grafana.
  VictoriaMetrics implements MetricsQL, https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/wiki/MetricsQL query language, which is inspired by PromQL.
  * Supports global query view. Multiple Prometheus instances may write data into VictoriaMetrics. Later this data may be used in a single query.
  * High performance and good scalability for both inserts  and selects.
  * High data compression, so up to 70x more data points  may be crammed into limited storage comparing to TimescaleDB.
  * Optimized for storage with high-latency IO and low IOPS (HDD and network storage in AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, etc).
  * A single-node VictoriaMetrics may substitute moderately sized clusters built with competing solutions such as Thanos, M3DB, Cortex, InfluxDB or TimescaleDB.
  * Easy operation:
      * VictoriaMetrics consists of a single without external dependencies.
      * All the configuration is done via explicit command-line flags with reasonable defaults.
      * All the data is stored in a single directory pointed by `-storageDataPath` flag.
      * Easy and fast backups from
      to S3 or GCS with [vmbackup] / [vmrestore].
  * Storage is protected from corruption on unclean shutdown (i.e. OOM, hardware reset or `kill -9`) thanks to the storage architecture.
  * Supports metrics' scraping, ingestion and backfilling via the following protocols:
    * [Metrics from Prometheus exporters]
      such as node_exporter.
      *  Prometheus remote write API(
      * InfluxDB line protocol over HTTP, TCP and UDP.
      * Graphite plaintext protocol
      if `-graphiteListenAddr` is set.
      * OpenTSDB put message, if `-opentsdbListenAddr` is set.
      * HTTP OpenTSDB /api/put requests, if `-opentsdbHTTPListenAddr` is set.
      * JSON line format.
      * Native binary format.
      * Prometheus exposition format.
      * Arbitrary CSV data.
  * Supports metrics' relabeling. See [these docs](#relabeling) for details.
  * Ideally works with big amounts of time series data from Kubernetes, IoT sensors, connected cars, industrial telemetry, financial data and various Enterprise workloads.
  * Has open source cluster version (https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/cluster).

  ** Configuration management**
  * Prometheus scrape config can be edited with your favorite editor, its located at
      `vi /var/snap/victoriametrics/current/etc/victoriametrics-scrape-config.yaml`
      after changes, you can trigger config reread with `curl localhost:8248/-/reload`.
  * Configuration tuning is possible with editing extra_flags:
      `echo 'FLAGS="-selfScrapeInterval=10s -search.logSlowQueryDuration=20s"' > /var/snap/victoriametrics/current/extra_flags && snap restart victoriametrics`
  * Data folder located at `/var/snap/victoriametrics/current/var/lib/victoriametrics/`.
