Hi all, I am doing analysis of a Kubernetes cluster and because I don't have permanent access to it, I thought about this idea of importing Prometheus TSDB and analyze the data using a local Prometheus instance. I succeeded to do that using snapshots as told here <https://www.robustperception.io/taking-snapshots-of-prometheus-data>. I dumped the snapshot into my local machine, spawned up a Prometheus container setting tsdb.path to the snapshot's path and it worked great, I can see the old data and perform queries. One night after, I woke up, uncompressed the snapshot again and launched a fresh new Prometheus instance but unfortunately now I can't see the old data. I have no idea why.
The documentation <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/1.8/storage/> says something about heap-size and memory-chunks but that's doesn't work and arguments are invalid when I tried them. I noticed after the server is launched, the head is garbage collected and maybe this is the reason but honestly I have no idea. So please is there anyway to correct this issue and be able to use my old restored snapshot ?
