Really great project. Instead of a fragile centralized approach Thanos embraced the federated nature of Prometheus. We see us using this for GitLab.com. I just discussed Thanos with Ben who works on the Prometheus project itself and who leads monitoring for GitLab: <a href="https://youtu.be/JzlwwGZ3yQ4" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/JzlwwGZ3yQ4</a>
Great project - just wanted to mention Cortex which is a different take on long-term large-scale Prometheus.<p><a href="https://github.com/weaveworks/cortex" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/weaveworks/cortex</a><p>Best to read the design document [1] to learn more about the different choices that Cortex makes.<p>Also no connotations of large-scale destruction :-)<p>(Note I work on Cortex)<p>1: <a href="http://goo.gl/prdUYV" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/prdUYV</a>
Not directly related, but I just watched the demonstration video for SURVIVAL— I am pretty blown away by the apparent scale of it.<p>I haven't heard of Improbable before now and it looks like so much work has been done already.<p>Has anybody worked with SpatialOS here yet?
Thanos seems like the closest thing to a silver bullet for Prometheus missing features (as by design).<p>Quick question:<p>In a multi Prometheus setup, if all the Thanos nodes are behind a load balancer (without sticky sessions), do a particular query from a dashboard interface like Grafana to that Load Balancer result in the same dataset, if run multiple times?
Storing the Prometheus data in long term storage raises one question for me... what is the process for upgrading the TSDB data format when it changes over time?
