1 year ago @csengerszabo Hi Csenger, I hope you don't mind the ping but I think/hope it's more efficient than going through support or sending you an email :) Not sure you remember, but we've talked about https://github.com/kubermatic/kubermatic/issues/10407 a while back (based on support ticket 3817).
I see that you're thinking about replacing Prometheus/promtail with Grafana Agent in KKP 2.22 (https://github.com/kubermatic/kubermatic/issues/10971), so I was wondering if you could take this into consideration as well. Or if not, tell us now so we know what we can expect to work with in the foreseeable future. We're not too opinionated about this (although with Grafana likely pulling their support out of Cortex, the latter might "die" fairly quickly, which is a concern) but would just like to know what to expect.
We're currently looking into enabling UC MLA for our customers (as we haven't previously found the time to evaluate the feature) and would rather wait for 2.22 if it includes such bigger changes than enable it now and then migrate in a few months. Cheers!

In March 2022 Grafana has announced Mimir as drop in replacement for Cortex:
See : https://grafana.com/blog/2022/03/30/announcing-grafana-mimir/
From what they say, it sounds like this is where future development is to be expected. The main differences currently are
The high cardinality features sound like something one would appreciate in an environment where you can't control the data being send to the back end just like with the "User MLA of KKP".
