Hi,

Is there a way to paginate the results coming from Prometheus server?

or can we form the paginated queries something like (offset=2, limit=20 up{svc_name="mysvc"})

Thanks.

It is not possible at the moment. Given how dynamic Prometheus is, this
would be quite a challenge to get consistent results with pagination,
because the data behind would change between two API calls.

Yet, there is an open question if any streaming API would be useful (e.g similar to what we have with streaming remote read now).

Kind Regards,
