Pyroscope Agent network overhead

[szandara]

Hello, I work on the edge where often connectivity is not optimal. I have been trying to find information about the frequency of ingest and its payload to understand the network overhead I would have.

Can someone share some numbers?

• How frequent is data sent (in push mode) to the server?
• How big is the data payload for an application?
• Is there a way to control the push frequency?

hi @szandara :

Currently the data is sent every 10 seconds and that is hard-coded so not while possible not supported at the moment. The data payload depends on the size of your application and size of your profiles (you'll have to run yourself to get an idea of the size, but we do have a /metrics endpoint that will provide this kind of information for you
