@Ricotta Well, it has been tried and worked. But it was smashed to bits and/or perverted by people in power to the point you have now with corporatism/crony capitalism.

@Ricotta Socialists are right about cronyism, which they perceive as capitalism. As we have seen in socialist countries, for those who wield political power are wealthy AF.

@icedquinn
Yeah, its easy. Just verify with promtool it isn't absolutely retarded and you are good to go.

Pretty much this. Its almost expected with any piece of software that it comes with a Prometheus exporter of some kind.

@crunklord420 You tell Prometheus how long you wish to retain the information you scraped from the exporters. By default this is 21 days and its fine.

You have to keep in mind that Prometheus is built to give you an accurate picture of what is happening here and now. So its excellent with frequent updates and storing loads of data in its TSDB. For the long term it isn't recommended. ( I mean, I did it at work, had like a year or so retention, 1.5TB on a simple t2.medium box. It worked, you could go back really far and it had great detail. But damn, you could here the instance just generating a fire in AWS's datacenter. )

Ultimately it depends how much you wish to store for how long which in turn determines the size. As for pruning, this happens automagically, but this happens for all the time-series, not specific ones.
