Yeah the pushgateway was the alternative to using InfluxDB. In the end we actually used Datadog for it, despite the cost, as it was just easier to scale on it (we had hundreds of devices per site). The pushgateway route with Prometheus just ended up feeling like there were too many things relying on each other, i.e. Prometheus -> Push Gateway <- Multiple agents on each device, is inherently more complex than just connecting directly to a DB/service from the device.

Try VictoriaMetrics next time. It supports data push via multiple popular data ingestion protocols [1] and it provides Prometheus-compatible API for Grafana [2].
