Include bomb-squad in our client prometheus config to avoid cardinality explosion #253

Open bricef opened 6 years ago

bricef commented 6 years ago

The bomb-squad project allows cardinality explosions to be dealt with using a side car deployed alongside prometheus.

We could include this in our client config to avoid error propagation into our database, and alert on appropriate metric name to warn customers.

See the PromCon 2018 talk on the topic.
