It is interesting to see this because (AFAIK, etc.) the only option for Prometheus has been on-premises. I had hoped to batch analytics and import into Prometheus out of production (aka off-premises), but my very preliminary investigation appeared to show that it requires "live" data, since it assigns the timestamp when events are ingested. I'm still confused whether or not bulk import will ever be a supported scenario. https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/398 https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/398 Improve staleness handling (2014-2017) https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/pull/119 https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/pull/119 Reject pushes with timestamps (2017)

Bulk imports are planned: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/535 https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/535 Note that bulk really means bulk. This is for one-off loads, not doing push.

  Any thoughts on a timeframe? This is the only thing holding me back from using Prometheus in any sort of serious way.

    There's no hard timeline as we're an open source project, but hopefully in the next 6-12 months. If this is holding you back from seriously Prometheus, then Prometheus is possibly not the right tool for you. Prometheus is about the here and now.

      Despite your consistently dismissive attitude, it IS the right tool for me, the teams I work on/with, and side projects. If that's not what prometheus is for, you should seriously consider adding a more-explicit mention of it in the documentation. Going through the docs, I'm finding nothing plainly obvious mentioning that about prometheus. At least put it in the FAQ, ffs. What needs to be code-wise to get it going sooner?

I know that https://cloud.weave.works https://cloud.weave.works somehow includes or uses hosted prometheus. Haven't tried it though. The 2.0 release of prometheus will help with stale data but not support bulk import yet. For that you can track https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/535 https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/535 But to be clear: My service isn't about running Prometheus off-premises. It only provides the metrics which you can gather with your own Prometheus servers.

If you want not on premise, datadog and signalfx are very very good for monitoring/metrics.
