For each tool you want to access through the Metralyze API, you need an account or API token in that tool. For example, for Instana you will need to create an API token.
All configuration in Metralyze is available via API. That means that watchers, SLO definitions and connections be managed from within CI/CD pipelines.
Metralyze focuses only on time-series data, which is characterized by having a set of time-stamped metrics together with a number of dimensions that give context for those metrics. Many monitoring and analytics tools offer the same kind of data. What we do is to offer a common query API and data format that works across all tools that we integrate with.
Yes, Metralyze is already being used by companies to monitor time-series data and report on SLOs. However, the product is currently in "private beta", meaning that we are only accepting a small number of additional users as we scale up the infrastructure. Contact us to discuss your use cases.
