Thanos Support
Enterprise Support for Thanos and Consulting in Barcelona
Extend Prometheus monitoring with Thanos architecture, implementation and support. XIVTech helps teams plan long-term metrics storage, global querying, availability and operational tuning across monitoring environments.

- Query optimization
Capabilities for Thanos support
Thanos architecture
Plan global metrics access and availability.
Long-term storage
Connect historical metrics with object storage.
Query optimization
Review distributed query and resource behavior.
Operational maintenance
Troubleshoot and improve Thanos deployments.
Buyer challenges
What makes Thanos support work necessary?
Start with the constraints affecting distributed Prometheus environments and historical metrics, then choose the work that addresses them.
Monitoring views are fragmented
Separate Prometheus environments make global investigation difficult.
Historical data is limited
Local retention does not support longer-term analysis needs.
Distributed queries are difficult to tune
Storage and query behavior require coordinated review.
From the first discussion to reviewed delivery
Shape the engagement around distributed Prometheus environments and historical metrics, with scope and technical responsibilities agreed before implementation.
Clarify the challenge
Review distributed Prometheus environments and historical metrics and the decisions your team needs to make.
Agree the work plan
Identify the first Thanos support tasks, dependencies and acceptance criteria with your team.
Implement with reviews
Deliver the agreed changes and review representative retain history work before expanding adoption.
Validate and hand over
Review Thanos query architecture and the remaining operating responsibilities together.
Working practices throughout delivery
Visible technical progress
Use demonstrations and written updates to review Thanos support work and surface blockers.
Documented decisions
Record choices affecting distributed Prometheus environments and historical metrics so the team retains the implementation context.
Explicit scope changes
Discuss changed priorities and their delivery implications before proceeding with additional work.
Where Thanos support fits
Thanos extends existing Prometheus deployments rather than replacing the metrics collection model. Storage and query components connect historical blocks and multiple environments, so retention, availability and query behavior need explicit operating decisions.
The service workflow
Collect with Prometheus
Maintain useful source metrics across environments.
Connect storage
Make metrics blocks available to the Thanos architecture.
Retain history
Operate object-storage retention and compaction decisions.
Query globally
Combine distributed metric sources in a shared view.
Monitor & tune
Review availability, resource use and query behavior.
Prometheus and Thanos
Source metrics and distributed storage/query components work together.
Object storage
Historical metric blocks participate in retention planning.
Grafana and alerting workflows
Operational views consume the consolidated metrics.
Useful outputs and practical value
The deliverables follow the agreed Thanos support scope; priorities are reviewed against your current environment.
A consolidated metrics view
Connect environments for wider investigation.
Thanos query architectureConsidered historical retention
Plan storage around operational and analysis needs.
Retention configurationMaintainable distributed monitoring
Document tuning and maintenance considerations.
Thanos operating guidance
Ways to work on Thanos support
Choose a working arrangement around the decision or implementation work needed, rather than a list of tools.
Thanos architecture review
Assess Prometheus scale and historical data requirements.
When it fits: Global querying or retention needs direction.
Deployment & integration
Implement agreed Thanos storage and query components.
When it fits: An extension to Prometheus needs delivery.
Thanos maintenance & tuning
Troubleshoot and optimize existing components.
When it fits: Distributed monitoring needs operational support.
Scope, responsibilities and delivery expectations are agreed before work begins.

Questions about Thanos support
Clarify scope, fit and adoption before choosing the next step.
What can Thanos support cover?
The offering includes Thanos architecture, long-term storage, query optimization, operational maintenance. Discovery determines which capabilities address your priorities and belong in the agreed scope.
Can this work fit our existing environment?
We review distributed Prometheus environments and historical metrics before recommending changes. Existing systems and practices inform the approach and implementation boundaries.
How do we choose the first piece of work?
Assess Prometheus scale and historical data requirements. Discovery identifies the dependencies and acceptance criteria needed to agree the first milestone.
What will our team receive at handoff?
Handoff follows the agreed scope and can include Thanos query architecture, retention configuration, Thanos operating guidance. Remaining responsibilities are reviewed with your team.
