Hi,

I am trying to pull data of 1 year using prometheus but I noticed I was only able to get recent 1 months data. If I wanted to pull 1 year data, how should I do if it is possible to get?

Thank you.

Hi,

Prometheus default retention period is 30 days. Please verify once that you have set the retention period to 1 year and you have enough capacity to store the data. Then you can check for the given time range.

Stay safe !

Hi,

Thank you for your response. At the moment, I am only able to pull for a month. This means that only a month data is available.

Hi, Yes you can only visualise the data available in your storage. This line defines the retention period.

--storage.tsdb.retention.time=90d . Here the retention is 90 days, so we can see the data of 90 days. Hope this helps.

Stay safe !
