Grafana Mimir Configure Configuration parameters
Open source

Grafana Mimir configuration parameters

You can configure Grafana Mimir by using a YAML file or via command-line flags that represent configuration parameters. To specify the YAML file, use the -config.file command-line option. If you specify both the command-line flags and YAML configuration parameters, the command-line flags take precedence over values in a YAML file.

To see the current configuration of any component, go to the /config HTTP API endpoint. Passwords are filtered out of this endpoint.

Parameters are written in YAML format, and brackets indicate that a parameter is optional.

Generic placeholders

  • <boolean>: a boolean that can take the values true or false
  • <int>: any integer matching the regular expression [1-9]+[0-9]*
  • <duration>: a duration matching the regular expression [0-9]+(ns|us|µs|ms|s|m|h|d|w|y) where y = 365 days
  • <string>: a string
  • <url>: a URL
  • <filepath>: a string containing an absolute or relative path and filename to a file on disk
  • <prefix>: a CLI flag prefix based on the context (look at the parent configuration block to see which CLI flags prefix should be used)
  • <relabel_config>: a Prometheus relabeling configuration
  • <time>: a timestamp, with available formats:
    • 2006-01-20 (midnight, local timezone)
    • 2006-01-20T15:04 (local timezone)
    • RFC 3339 formats: 2006-01-20T15:04:05Z (UTC) or 2006-01-20T15:04:05+07:00 (explicit timezone)

Parameter categories

In order to simplify Mimir configuration, we categorize parameters by maturity level and intended use:

  • Basic parameters are ones that we expect the majority of users to modify. Examples of basic parameters are object store credentials and other dependency connection information. These parameters will generally remain stable for long periods of time, and they focus on user goals. In this reference, any parameters that are not marked as (advanced) or (experimental) are in the basic category.

  • Advanced parameters are ones that few users will change from their default values. There are strong use cases for altered values. In this reference, advanced-category parameters include (advanced) at the beginning of their description.

  • Experimental parameters are for new and experimental features. These parameters permit early adopters and Mimir developers to gain confidence with new features. In this reference, experimental-category parameters include (experimental) at the beginning of their description.

Parameter lifecycle

When new parameters are added, they can be introduced as basic, advanced, or experimental.

Experimental parameters will remain experimental until they are either made stable or removed. Parameters that are made stable will be classified as either basic or advanced. We aim to make this decision on an experimental parameter within 6 months of its initial release, but this decision may take longer depending on what we discover during testing, or if upstream dependencies (e.g., Prometheus) of our code changes.

If we decide to eliminate a basic or advanced parameter, we will first mark it deprecated. After two more minor releases, a deprecated flag will be removed entirely. Use the metric deprecated_flags_inuse_total to determine whether you’re using deprecated flags. A configuration parameter is in maintenance and usable as expected between its deprecation and removal. If you configure Mimir with a removed parameter, Mimir will fail to start.

Parameter states

Use environment variables in the configuration

You can use environment variable references in the YAML configuration file to set values that need to be configurable during deployment. To do this, pass -config.expand-env=true on the command line and use ${VAR}, where VAR is the name of the environment variable.

Each variable reference is replaced at startup by the value of the environment variable. The replacement is case-sensitive and occurs before the YAML file is parsed. References to undefined variables are replaced by empty strings unless you specify a default value or custom error text.

To specify a default value, use ${VAR:default_value}, where default_value is the value to use if the environment variable is undefined.
