I have an application where I am trying to aggregate metrics from hosts that have spotty connectivity. I want to be logging locally when the hosts are periodically offline, then sync all the metrics to a central server once they connect again. Another complication is that these remote hosts sometimes get rebooted. In the ideal case the remote hosts would delete data locally after some amount of time, allowing plenty of time for it all to be synced to the centralized server.
It sounds like I could run Prometheus on all my remote hosts, with appropriate retention rules. Then have my central Prometheus server pull from them all periodically via remote_read? Will I be able to get ALL data to the central server that way? All the hosts are connected over a VPN so there are no firewall issues. Does this sound like an appropriate use of Prometheus?
