### TSDB format and downgrade
|
|
|
|
|
The TSDB format has been changed in Prometheus v2.55 in preparation for changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TSDB format has been changed slightly in Prometheus v2.55 in preparation for changes
|
|
|
|
|
to the index format. Consequently, a Prometheus v3 TSDB can only be read by a
|
|
|
|
|
Prometheus v2.55 or newer.
|
|
|
|
|
Before upgrading to Prometheus v3 please upgrade to v2.55 first and confirm
|
|
|
|
|
Prometheus works as expected. Only then continue with the upgrade to v3.
|
|
|
|
|
Prometheus v2.55 or newer. Keep that in mind when upgrading to v3 -- you will be only
|
|
|
|
|
able to downgrade to v2.55, not lower, without loosing your TSDB persitent data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an extra safety measure, you could optionally consider upgrading to v2.55 first and
|
|
|
|
|
confirm Prometheus works as expected, before upgrading to v3.

### TSDB storage contract
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TSDB compatible storage is now expected to return results matching the specified
|
|
|
|
|
selectors. This might impact some third party implementations, most likely
|
|
|
|
|
implementing `remote_read`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This contract is not explicitly enforced, but can cause undefined behavior.

### UTF-8 names
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prometheus v3 supports UTF-8 in metric and label names. This means metric and
|
|
|
|
|
label names can change after upgrading according to what is exposed by
|
|
|
|
|
endpoints. Furthermore, metric and label names that would have previously been
