Overview
Mimir is an open source software project that provides a scalable long-term storage for Prometheus. Some of the core strengths of Mimir include:
- Easy to install and maintain: extensive documentation, tutorials, and deployment tooling make it quick to get started. Using its monolithic mode, you can get Mimir up and running with just one binary and no additional dependencies. Once deployed, the best-practice dashboards, alerts, and playbooks packaged with Mimir make it easy to monitor the health of the system.
- Massive scalability: You can run horizontally-scalable architecture across multiple machines, resulting in the ability to process orders of magnitude more time series than a single Prometheus instance. Internal testing shows that Mimir handles up to 1 billion active time series.
- Global view of metrics: Mimir enables you to run queries that aggregate series from multiple Prometheus instances, giving you a global view of your systems. Its query engine extensively parallelizes query execution, so that even the highest-cardinality queries complete with blazing speed.
- Cheap, durable metric storage: Mimir uses object storage for long-term data storage, allowing it to take advantage of this ubiquitous, cost-effective, high-durability technology. It is compatible with multiple object store implementations, including AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, OpenStack Swift, as well as any S3-compatible object storage.
- High availability: Mimir replicates incoming metrics, ensuring that no data is lost in the event of machine failure. Its horizontally scalable architecture also means that it can be restarted, upgraded, or downgraded with zero downtime, which means no interruptions to metrics ingestion or querying.
- Natively multi-tenant: multi-tenant architecture enables you to isolate data and queries from independent teams or business units, making it possible for these groups to share the same cluster. Advanced limits and quality-of-service controls ensure that capacity is shared fairly among tenants.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
How experimental PromQL functions are enabled has changed.
The experimental CLI flags -querier.promql-experimental-functions-enabled and -query-frontend.block-promql-experimental-functions and their respective YAML configurations have been removed from query-frontends and queriers. Experimental PromQL functions are disabled by default. You can enable them using only the enabled_promql_experimental_functions per-tenant setting.
Support for native histograms and out-of-order native histograms is enabled by default in ingesters.
Distributors discard float and histogram samples with duplicated timestamps from each timeseries in a request before the request is forwarded to ingesters. Discarded samples are tracked by cortex_discarded_samples_total metrics with the reason sample_duplicate_timestamp.
Upgrade Steps
You may upgrade your instance using the following command from the shell:
$ dnf update grafana-mimir
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Start an instance with 1-Click, or optionally using your cloud provider's web/console
- SSH into your instance and verify your Mimir is ready: : $ curl http://localhost:9009/readyÂ
- Reconfigure all your Prometheus applications against your Mimir!

Status Checks
Your product (and all supporting processes) is monitored and restarted via our monit suite. You can verify everything is 'OK' with the following:
$ monit summary
Sensitive Information
mimir contains no cryptographically stored data and does not perform any encryption at rest.
Local X509 PKI may be utilised to manage network-based TLS. All certificates and keys are stored locally in /etc/pki and it is completely at your discretion to regenerate any of these at any time; the product will transparently operate on any consistent set of configured keys.
mimir ships with openssl, step-cli and other popular tools to facilitate certificate regeneration.
