A different and (often) better way to downsample your Prometheus metrics

  Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.

  

Persisting time-series as-is is a somewhat-different use-case from putting them in a data warehouse so you can do rollups to them.

I believe the state-of-the-art in Prometheus data retention is https://thanos.io/ — my understanding is that it's a Prometheus remote storage integration (https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote...) that archives time-series data from Prometheus into an object-store, and then fetches/streams chunks back out from said object-store to serve requests.

You could use it locally on your NAS, by running a Minio instance on there. But IMHO there wouldn't be much point in doing that, over just keeping all the data in Prometheus's own internal storage.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Is there anything in particular you are missing in Promscale to be used as a backend for multiple Prometheus instances?

We added support for multi-tenancy a couple of months ago (https://blog.timescale.com/blog/simplified-prometheus-monito...)

And thanks to a community contribution by 2nick on github Promscale can be integrated with Thanos :) (https://github.com/timescale/promscale/pull/664)
