Disable Cardinality limit / pre-aggregation?

Open johanstenberg92 opened this issue 9 months ago • 13 comments

What is the question?

Hello,

is there a way to disable the pre-aggregation and cardinality limit and let the system which receives the metrics handle the throttling problem?

An alternative would be to heavily over estimate the cardinality limit, but then there’s a concern with the initial memory allocation (which could also be better explained in the docs).

Our product has a backing system which can handle the cardinality we need, but we are concerned to put fix numbers in apps reporting to it and the memory consumption since we have some huge cardinalities.

The documentation doesn’t have a solution for this scenario, do you have any advice? Thanks
