storage.tsdb.max-block-duration default value is set to be 10% of retention time. I am currently using a setup with 30 days of retention and thereby this flags default value is set to be 3 days. Based on suggestions posted here: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/6934#issuecomment-1610921555 I changed storage.tsdb.min-block-duration to 30m and storage.tsdb.max-block-duration to 1h. This resulted in no-compaction state and local storage increased quickly.
In order to enable the compaction and have a safe test, I changed storage.tsdb.max-block-duration to 1day I want some guideline on what is a safe lower value of this parameter and keeping it low impact in increased memory usage? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
