I read regarding this here but was unable to fully understand what maxAgeSeconds means. Does it mean that my observations will be fully discarded after 10 mins (completely lost)? Also if I have configured prometheus to scrape data every minute, then will the recommended values be 60s for maxAgeSeconds and 1 for ageBuckets? What is the significance of this two terms?
