Hello Fabian, I am not a remote write expert but we are about to mark the remote write specification as stable. Here is the proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LPhVRSFkGNSuU1fBd81ulhsCPR4hkSZyyBj1SZ8fWOM/edit#heading=h.3p42p5s8n0ui We are also working on transactional remote write: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UgSNnQYB1TJKVHkrUybEZPDsDl6MYCSiABm71v73Uvs/edit#heading=h.ih79uqrsv2dl Regards, > > > > Thanks, > Fabian > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Prometheus Developers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to prometheus-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/prometheus-developers/CAG97UEngEdrkrcGnH5J%2BRQ4ThT8GW530JcLOgdJ2Jf13A_RAjA%40mail.gmail.com. -- Julien Pivotto @roidelapluie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
