Grafana Cost Optimization
OhChimp reads your Grafana stack and cuts cost from high-cardinality Prometheus metrics, custom metrics, and Loki log ingestion. Verified on your bill.
How does OhChimp connect to Grafana?
With a read-only Grafana service-account token, your Grafana URL, and an optional org ID. OhChimp lists your datasources and reads metrics, logs, traces, and profiles through the Grafana datasource proxy. It never stores application data, secrets, or workload contents.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my log and trace contents?
No write access. The token is scoped to read-only telemetry analysis. OhChimp reads aggregate stats like series counts, label cardinality, log ingestion bytes, profile hotspots, and trace latency. It does not store your application data, secrets, or workload contents.
What Grafana costs can OhChimp actually reduce?
The big ones are high-cardinality Prometheus metrics and labels, custom or redundant metrics, and Loki log ingestion volume. It also reads Pyroscope profiles for CPU and memory hotspots and Tempo traces for slow services, which point to code that is paying for extra compute.
Who applies the changes, and can I roll back?
You do. Every fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes until you click apply, and you are always the one who clicks.
How are savings verified, and what does it cost?
OhChimp checks your real bill after you apply a plan. Savings are marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10 percent, and 3 consecutive positive checks. Otherwise the plan stays flagged not implemented. Pricing is a flat monthly fee with no cut of your savings, plus a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in your first 12 months on a paid plan.
