But I still see the WAL under the data folder, I thought that was supposed to be deleted? -rw-r--r-- 1 pro pro 134119424 Apr 11 04:01 00070739 -rw-r--r-- 1 pro pro 132874240 Apr 11 04:04 00070740 -rw-r--r-- 1 pro pro 133693440 Apr 11 04:07 00070741 [ wal]$ ls -l | grep 000 |wc -l 6413 [ wal]$ ls | grep check *check*point.00070694 *check*point.00070738.tmp *check*point.00074965.tmp Does that mean. if I restart Prometheus again will these WALs get loaded?
