grafana do not read downsampled thanos blocks

[dmitriy-lukyanchikov]

Hello guys.

I create downsampled 5m and 1h blocks and my grafana cannot read it, it reads only raw data from Thanos may be i miss something in configuration please help

Why it was closed? (:

I guess you found option for --query.auto-downsampling in Thanos Querier?

[dmitriy-lukyanchikov]

Hello, yes i think this option need some additional explaining because its was not clear when i read description first time )

So what is the secret to get grafana showing data older than "raw data" ?

What I understand is, Grafana sits on top of Thanos Query Instance. However when I jump to Thanos Query Instance (http:/x.x.x:19191) I see the whole range of existing (raw + downsampled) data.

You can set Querier with --query.auto-downsampling on or off. This controls the default behaviour when no param is set on HTTP request (Which is the case when you use grafana)
