Deleting timeseries

[Venkata Bhagavatula]

Hi,

I was using the  admin rest api for deleting the timeseries. Following is what i executed:

curl  -XPOST   -g 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series?match[]={__name__=~".+"}'

followed by

curl  -XPOST  'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/admin/tsdb/clean_tombstones'

As mentioned in the document, 204 is returned for both timeseries.

I was expecting that all the timeseries would be deleted from the disk. But this is not the case.

i could see that still timeseries data is present.

I am using prometheus version 2.11.1. 

Can we delete all the timeseries from the disk? using the above Rest API.

Thanks n Regards,

Chalapathi.

Hi All,

I tried the following today, if i delete few metrics individually, those metrics are deleted. But if i give expression to match all metrics then none of them are getting deleted.

Can you let me know if i am missing something?

Thanks n Regards,
