Re: [prometheus-developers] Is there any way to give memory specifications by ourselves in prometheus?

Probably not. Prometheus will write scraped data to the WAL and if that fails it won't be stored anywhere. Equally if a file is only partially written (either a full block or something in the WAL) you may end up losing all the data in that file (Prometheus will check for corruption on startup).

If you are meaning the disk storage, Prometheus would stop working and you might also encounter some corruption. You can control disk usage by setting the retention period or by setting the maximum space to remain available. I'd strongly suggest putting the storage on a separate mount and also

While an explicit memory limit is not configurable, there are a number of knobs in Prometheus that one can configure that limit resource usage along certain dimensions, for example https://www.robustperception.io/limiting-promql-resource-usage. There's also a setting that prevents a maximum

So what will happen if prometheus crosses the RAM limit, will it die? Or is it gonna affect the other processes running on the system? On Wednesday, February 19, 2020 at 9:41:36 PM UTC+5:30, Julien Pivotto wrote: > > On 19 Feb 08:08, adi garg wrote: > > Hello experts, > > > > Is there any
