To store Prometheus data, I have a volume with a given, fixed size. I need 
to make sure usage level stays below 100%.

I've already set storage.tsdb.retention.time, but this is not always very 
effective. Sometimes large data spikes will fill up the volume. I cannot 
reduce the retention time too much.

I want to also use storage.tsdb.retention.size. But the problem is, this 
doesn't take into account the WAL file size.

Is there a way to estimate the size of WAL data? Are there any guidelines 
for fitting the retention size in a given volume size?

Thanks!
