dpm-finder
Find the Prometheus metrics that drive your Grafana Cloud bill. `dpm-finder` is a Grafana Professional Services CLI that ranks metrics by Data Points per Minute (DPM) with per-label-set breakdown, optional `--cost-per-1000-series` pricing, and a Prometheus-exporter mode. Use when investigating high Grafana Cloud spend, hunting noisy / high-cardinality metrics, comparing pre/post recording-rule cardinality, or feeding cost data into dashboards — even when the user says "why is my Mimir bill so high?", "find the biggest metrics", "cardinality offenders", or "optimize Prometheus cost" without naming dpm-finder.

dpm-finder Grafana PS tool ranking Prometheus metrics by DPM with per-series breakdown. Source: https://github.com/grafana-ps/dpm-finder Prerequisites Python 3.9+ A Grafana Cloud Prometheus endpoint URL + numeric stack ID + API key (glc…, metrics:read scope) Common Workflows One-shot analysis (most common) If step 5 is empty, lower -m or confirm the endpoint URL has no trailing path after .net. Discover stack details with gcx If gcx is installed it can derive the endpoint + username: The Prometheus endpoint pattern is https://prometheus-{clusterslug}.grafana.net. Username is the numeric stack ID. Without gcx: look up in the Grafana Cloud portal, or query grafanacloudinstanceinfo{name="STACKNAME."} on the datasource. Multi-stack runs Limit to max 3 concurrent runs to avoid GCloud rate limits. Batch the stacks and wait for each batch before the next.
