Hello all,

Q1) What will happen if we set scrape interval as 5 minutes or 10 minutes?
Q2) I am observing some misbehavior when we set different scrape interval. what is the reason behind that?


Could you please answer those questions?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Bharath kumar

The standard maximum scape interval is about 2 minutes, due to staleness
- less frequent scrapes would likely cause series to be marked as stale
and therefore disappear from alerts/dashboards.
