A simple way to get more value from metrics

Might also want to give Prometheus a try as it's extremely simple to setup, and it is very well supported in the open source community.

Note that this isn't an either/or. You can use telegraf to push data to prometheus, or pull data from prometheus compliant http endpoints. You can also use grafana to show data from both InfluxDB and Prometheus.

This might be obvious to some but I thought it worth mentioning.

Prometheus was another option but millisecond-precise timestamps are a deal breaker in my field.

That makes sense -- have you taken a look at M3DB (https://www.m3db.io/)?

Curious, would microseconds suffice? Or are we talking about higher precision still?

Very likely they need nanosecond precision, https://www.thetradenews.com/fintech-firms-reduce-trading-ti...

Just like the sibling comment indicated, we (HFT, algo trading) need nanosecond precision for some metrics.
