I am having issues with WAL directory. I have the tsdb retention size to 175 GB, but the WAL size is increasing huge. now its 281 GB.
ExecStart=/apps/prometheus/prometheus_server/prometheus –config.file=/apps/prometheus/prometheus_server/prometheus.yml –storage.tsdb.path=/apps/prometheus/prometheus_data –storage.tsdb.retention.size=175GB –storage.tsdb.retention.time=180d du -sh wal 281G wal Is there any setting I can make to control the WAL space? Prometheus version is prometheus, version 2.31.0 (branch: HEAD, revision: d4c83da6d252d4edfdbd639fb817ebdb8e9ab2e4) build user: root395d507f537a build date: 20211102-10:28:54 go version: go1.17.2 platform: linux/amd64 due to this the restart of Prometheus takes huge amount of time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
