  VictoriaMetrics is a fast open-source time-series database and monitoring
  solution. It exposes a Prometheus-compatible HTTP query API, a wide range of
  ingestion endpoints (Prometheus remote-write, InfluxDB Line Protocol,
  DataDog v1/v2, Graphite, OpenTSDB, CSV, JSON, native), a federation endpoint
  and admin endpoints. The commercial Enterprise edition adds anomaly
  detection (vmanomaly), downsampling, multi-tenancy and other features.
