I've found VictoriaMetrics all-in-one binary to be perfect size for home at the very least for metrics gathering.

Supports Prometheus querying and few other formats for ingesting so any knowledge bout "how to get data into prometheus" applies pretty much 1:1 + their own vmagent is pretty advanced. Not related to company in any way, just a happy user.

I’ll never understand how companies with a UI focused product end up with websites that don’t have any screenshots of the UI. I spent over a minute on the site and couldn’t find a screenshot.

Could you explain why you had that thought? AFAIK VictoriaMetrics is a backend product that is positioned as an alternative to Prometheus/Graphite/InfluxDB/OpenTSDB, perfectly works with Grafana. It has its datasource for Grafana and yes, it has integrated VMUI which you can try at https://play.victoriametrics.com.

The article is about Grafana which is a front-end.

> all-in-one binary

In a topic about Grafana, I expected it to include a front-end if it's all-in-one. To me, all-in-one means everything, not just the database or back-end.

It’s a database

I haven’t started using it yet but i identified Victoria metrics as the first time series database I would try as a replacement for our wonderware historian so I won’t have to use AVEVA’s half baked web dashboard product and can use grafana or something else sane instead
