I have a prometheus server scraping about 10 targets on each of about 5 different machines. We've not noticed any issues but looking at the log I can see some targets are reporting out-of-order sample warnings as often as once a minute or so (scraping happens every 15s).
When I inspect the URL manually everything appears fine and the scrape takes about 50ms. What exactly has to happen for prometheus to detect this situation? When I see something like: >msg="Error on ingesting out-of-order samples" num_dropped=144 What does num_dropped refer to exactly - the number of individual time-series exposed in the dropped scrape? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
