Hi Richard, Reading between the lines it sounds like we're *potentially* talking about a broader/larger "State of Clojure <https://clojure.org/news/2020/02/20/state-of-clojure-2020>" type thing for Prometheus. Is that accurate?
Certainly don't mind the results being public. My only real concern is timelines: we were hoping to use some of the raw data to help advise some load testing on our end, and things are already looking pretty aggressive. If we're looking at something that's going to take weeks or more to start seeing results rolling in we probably won't quite get the data we were hoping to get in time. From a purely selfish perspective we'd be pretty disappointed to go forward without data from "the source", so to speak. Of course, I totally understand the team's actions here. I'm just whining to myself. Timelines aside, we'd be excited to see something "official" in the longer term. It would be useful for engineers like myself, and I know there are product managers and research folks lurking our virtual halls who would love such readily available data for future efforts. The questions from our survey: - Roughly how many Prometheus *servers* are you operationally responsible for? - Of all the Prometheus servers that you are responsible for, which version would you say is the most widely deployed? - How many unique metrics are reporting across all of your Prometheus servers? - How many unique *timeseries* are reporting across all of your Prometheus servers? - If you use Grafana to visualize your Prometheus data, what version of Grafana do you typically use? - What value do you typically use for the "scrape_interval" config setting in your Prometheus servers? - Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your Prometheus deployment(s)? For example, interesting challenges, pain points, or quirks of your configuration? Look forward to whatever might eventuate here, those big community surveys are always a lot of fun to read through.
