Pushgateway doesn't do what you think. Pushgateway exists so that short-lived, one-shot scripts can write their result somewhere and then terminate. When prometheus scrapes it, it will always see the *most recent* value which was written to the pushgateway.
As long as prometheus scrapes it, it will be ingesting data. It will be the same value every time, so it will compress very efficiently - but the timeseries will still contain values, and they'll get written to disk. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
