Prometheus timestamps
prometheus, timestamp
Solution
The timestamp `1483228810000` converts back to January of this year.
Prometheus omits time series from query results if the timestamp for which the query is executed is more than 5 minutes away from the nearest sample.
It is also not advised to use timestamps in this way.
Problem
I wrote an exporter which exposes timestamp next to the metric like: ``` test_load_min{app="web01"} 1 1483228810000 test_load_min{app="db01"} 2 1483228820000 test_load_min{app="email01"} 3 1483228830000 ``` According to https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/ this should be fine for Prometheus, but querying test_load_min in Prometheus UI returns empty result. Same without timestamps works fine. Anyone has an idea what's wrong there?
