1. Proposed title of this feature request Provide Long-Term Storage for Prometheus via InfluxDB integration 3. What is the nature and description of the request? Prometheus supports long-term storage via additional DBs like InfluxDB. But AFAICT we don't provide any integration even if we ship https://access.redhat.com/containers/#/registry.connect.redhat.com/influxdata/influxdb-1x There are ways to integrate Prometheus with InfluxDB like: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/tree/master/documentation/examples/remote_storage/remote_storage_adapter
We're investigating some long term storage options including influx db and thanos. This would likely be for the openshift 3.10 timeframe or later, but we don't have any definite information yet.
François Cami did you have a look at https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos ? it is designed specifically as a long term storage.
Yes, but Thanos currently requires object storage, which is not available everywhere.
in that case the only other option is using the remote storage adapter.
Understood.
I don't think anything will change anytime soon so closing for now and will reopen when we have a better answer for that.
