Alright, To be sure that I am understanding correctly. The consequence would be that time series will be marked as stale, that would mean that grafana wouldn't be able to show the data past the 5 minutes delay. Is that correct?
The other thing that I see, perhaps, I could increase the 5minutes period to something a little bit over an hour as I will scrape the metrics every hours.
