About MetricsHub

MetricsHub is a metrics collector for OpenTelemetry designed to deliver real-time infrastructure metrics to your existing observability stack.

It natively supports core infrastructure monitoring, including servers, storage systems, network devices, and databases, and can be extended through additional connectors and configuration to address evolving monitoring requirements.

MetricsHub is available in two editions:

  • The Community Edition Community — Free and open source, it provides essential monitoring capabilities.
  • The Enterprise Edition Enterprise — Extended monitoring coverage and 24×7 support.

Why MetricsHub?​

Modern infrastructure monitoring comes with several common challenges. MetricsHub is designed to address them.

ChallengeHow MetricsHub Addresses It
Vendor lock-inIts OpenTelemetry-native architecture enables exporting telemetry data to 30+ platforms, including Prometheus, Datadog, Cisco Splunk, or New Relic.
Complex deploymentsA single MetricsHub Agent can monitor up to 1,000 remote hosts.
Limited monitoring coverageMetricsHub supports servers and devices across a wide range of vendors, models, and generations.
Custom monitoringExtend monitoring through simple YAML configuration without custom code.
Sustainability insightsTrack energy consumption and carbon footprint out-of-the-box.

How MetricsHub Works​

MetricsHub is a metrics collection agent running in your infrastructure network. A single instance of MetricsHub can remotely monitor up to 1,000 hosts, eliminating the need to deploy an agent on every monitored system.

MetricsHub uses a modular, connector-based architecture. Each connector contains the logic required to collect metrics using standard access methods (SNMP, SSH, HTTP, IPMI, JMX, SQL/JDBC, WMI, WinRM). With 300+ built-in connectors, MetricsHub can monitor servers across a broad range of vendors, models, and generations.

MetricsHub Architecture

The collected metrics can be sent to any OpenTelemetry-compatible platform, including Datadog, Grafana, and Cisco Splunk using either:

  • the OTLP Protocol Community
  • the embedded, managed, and secured OpenTelemetry Collector Enterprise.
