Side by side
A monitoring system and time-series database that scrapes metrics from services, queries them with PromQL and sends alerts.
A time-series platform for sensor and IoT data with its own storage and the WarpScript language for analysis, including geo time series.
Long-term storage and high availability need extra components such as Thanos or Mimir.
WarpScript is unusual and the community is small, mostly around the vendor SenX.
