Librato

aid: librato
name: Librato
description: 'Librato was a hosted metrics, monitoring and analytics service for operational data — time-series measurements,
  tagged metrics, dashboards ("spaces"), charts, annotations, alerts and notification services — delivered as a developer-first
  SaaS with a JSON REST API at metrics-api.librato.com/v1. Backed by Cowboy Ventures among others, the San Francisco company
  was acquired by SolarWinds in 2015 for a reported $40 million, and its metrics platform was folded into SolarWinds AppOptics
  — released in November 2017 — which has itself since reached end of life. The librato.com domain and every product subdomain
  (metrics., status., www.) now 301-redirect to the SolarWinds AppOptics end-of-life notice, the metrics-api.librato.com API
  host no longer resolves in DNS, and the github.com/librato organization was archived on 2024-01-02. This profile is retained
  as a historical record of a well-regarded developer API: the API reference source, the first-party Ruby, Python, Java and
  Node client libraries and the collection agents remain publicly archived and are catalogued here. The successor product
  is SolarWinds Observability SaaS.'
