Hi, As per prometheus documentation, "Compaction will create larger blocks containing data spanning up to 10% of the retention time, or 31 days, whichever is smaller."
We have set retention time as 4 days. 10% of retention time is 9.6h. If we align to the 2 hour boundary then it will become 8 hr. But prometheus is creating bigger blocks only upto 6 hour. Could you please let us know how it is calculated. Following is differnt test which we did with different retention time(10m, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 7d, 15d). Please note retention size is not set. fifteen-day-cpro-server-0 total 60 drwxrws---. 2 root 65534 16384 Jun 7 06:07 lost+found -rw-r--r--. 1 65534 65534 0 Jun 7 06:08 lock drwxr-sr-x. 3 65534 65534
