7 million timeseries is a very large number. Is it what you're expecting? If not, then you should address this first. Maybe you have an exporter which has a very high cardinality label which shouldn't be there. You can get some clues from the prometheus GUI under Status > Runtime & Build Information, including the highest cardinality labels and metrics.
Try the RAM calculator which is on this page: https://www.robustperception.io/how-much-ram-does-prometheus-2-x-need-for-cardinality-and-ingestion 38GiB seems like the expected amount of RAM for what you're doing, *if* you really need 7 million distinct timeseries. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
