Does Mimir periodically delete data from the Object Storage (Minio) #1938
-
|
I have configured Mimir using the Getting started guide. I have configured Minio in distributed mode using 4 VMs and 8 drives as explained in the docs. I find that the data in Minio is periodically getting deleted. Is this due to some configuration in Mimir and can it be prevented? Or is it something related to Minio configuration? |

The default Mimir configuration has retention disabled, which means data is never deleted. Minio shouldn't delete any data as well when running with the default configuration. However, the reason why you could see object deleted from Minio is because of the Mimir compactor: small blocks are compacted into larger blocks, and then the small source blocks are deleted. Data is not actually delete, in the sense that you don't loose any metrics data. |
