Delete existing metrics

[dumas...@gmail.com]

Hello everyone,

I plugged the JMX exporter to my HBase instance without seeing there were JMX metrics relative to regions.

I blacklisted them afterwards but now I am stuck with hundreds of useless metrics polluting the database and the Prometheus interface.

Has anyone a solution to delete quickly all of them ? Is there a way to delete an entire job for example ?

Thanks,
Simon

Yep, see http://prometheus.io/docs/querying/api/#deleting-series

Thanks.

Do you know if there is a way to retrieve all series for a given job ?
So that I can create a script to delete all of them ?

Yes, you can just leave out the metric name in your query.

For example:

$ curl -XDELETE -g 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/series?match[]={job="prometheus"}'

No need, you delete based on selector so {job="myjob"} is what you want.

Ok, I misunderstood the use of the selector.

It worked, my Prometheus instance is now free from these metrics.

Thanks everyone for the quick answers.

If prometheus_cli has the feature to operate(for example, delete) metrics, I think that it is useful.

Having a reasonably coverage of API features in a CLI tool is very reasonable.

However, prometheus_cli is at point of deprecation I would say.

Either this functionality could live in promtool (Prometheus main repo) or by an overhaul of prometheus_cli.

I actually started writing a Go API client a while ago (https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/api/prometheus) but the need was quite limited so it only supports querying. It can easily be extended by the remaining API functionality.

I'll gladly to support anyone who wants to give this a go.

hmm, I didn't notice promtool.

I'll check it out.

Thanks
