I have a slightly similar requirement ([Federation as a way to "group" metrics and expose 1 interface instead of many](https://discuss.prometheus.io/t/federation-as-a-way-to-group-metrics-and-expose-1-interface-instead-of-many/1459)) and was considering using federation for that, although I’ve also read that using federation to “read everything” is often a bad idea.

After seeing @stuart’s reply, searching about “prometheus agent mode” seems to show very interesting results and likely applicable to these scenarios. In case you’re interested: [Introducing Prometheus Agent Mode, an Efficient and Cloud-Native Way for Metric Forwarding | Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/blog/2021/11/16/agent/)
