Systems and methods for reducing the cardinality of metrics queries

A computing platform may be configured to (i) perform an analysis of a saved query comprising an expression that specifies a set of one or more unique metrics for which metric data is to be fetched from a metrics management platform when the saved query is run, (ii) determine a strategy for reducing a cardinality level of the saved query based at least in part on the analysis of the saved query, and (iii) cause the saved query to be modified in accordance with the determined strategy for reducing the cardinality level of the saved query.
