Loading delayed data into Thanos

[kojderszymon]

I am using Minio and Thanos (with receiver) to collect data from Prometheus and my own application via remote write. A problem arises when via remote write I would like to upload older, late data. With the default settings, I can upload data from a few hours ago, but this is not enough. For example, I would like to load data from 24 hours ago. Will I be able to achieve this? Will increasing --max-block-duration and --min-block-duration solve the problem? Is there any work to solve my problem currently being done?

This is a limitation with the Prometheus TSDB. The only way to backfill data older than a few hours is to upload TSDB blocks directly to S3 from where you can query them with Store Gateway.
