Reference: Grafana Mimir HTTP API

Grafana Mimir exposes an HTTP API that you can use to write and query time series data, and operate the cluster.

This document groups API endpoints by service. Note that the API endpoints are exposed when you run Grafana Mimir in microservices mode and monolithic mode:

  • Microservices mode: Each service exposes its own endpoints.
  • Monolithic mode: The Grafana Mimir instance exposes all API endpoints.

<alertmanager-http-prefix>/alertmanager-http.alertmanager-http-prefixapi > alertmanager_http_prefix

Authentication

Endpoints that require authentication must be called with the X-Scope-OrgID HTTP request header specified to the tenant ID.

If you disable multi-tenancy, Grafana Mimir doesn’t require any request to include the X-Scope-OrgID header.

Multi-tenancy can be enabled and disabled via the -auth.multitenancy-enabled flag or its respective YAML configuration option.

For more information about authentication and authorization, refer to Authentication and Authorization.

This endpoint returns in JSON format information about the build and enabled features. The format returned is not identical, but is similar to the Prometheus Build Information endpoint.

Memberlist cluster

GET /memberlist

This admin page shows information about Memberlist cluster (list of nodes and their health) and KV store (keys and values in the KV store).

If memberlist message history is enabled, this page also shows all received and sent messages stored in the buffers. This can be useful for troubleshooting memberlist cluster. To enable message history buffers use -memberlist.message-history-buffer-bytes CLI flag or the corresponding YAML configuration parameter.

Get tenant limits

GET /api/v1/user_limits

Returns realtime limits for the authenticated tenant, in JSON format. This API is experimental.

Requires authentication.

The endpoint is only available if Grafana Mimir is configured with the -runtime-config.file option.

Distributor

The following endpoints relate to the distributor.

Remote write

POST /api/v1/push

Entrypoint for the Prometheus remote write.

This endpoint accepts an HTTP POST request with a body that contains a request encoded with Protocol Buffers and compressed with Snappy. You can find the definition of the protobuf message in pkg/mimirpb/mimir.proto. The HTTP request must contain the header X-Prometheus-Remote-Write-Version set to 0.1.0.

To skip the label name validation, perform the following actions:

  • Enable API’s flag -api.skip-label-name-validation-header-enabled=true
  • Ensure that the request is sent with the header X-Mimir-SkipLabelNameValidation: true

This feature supports the writes from non-standard downstream clients that have metric name not Prometheus compliant.

For more information, refer to Prometheus Remote storage integrations.

Requires authentication.

OTLP

POST /otlp/v1/metrics

Entrypoint for the OTLP HTTP. Experimental.

This endpoint accepts an HTTP POST request with a body that contains a request encoded with Protocol Buffers and optionally compressed with GZIP. You can find the definition of the protobuf message in metrics.proto.

Requires authentication.

Distributor ring status

GET /distributor/ring

This endpoint displays a web page with the distributor hash ring status, including the state, and the health and last heartbeat time of each distributor.

Tenants stats

GET /distributor/all_user_stats

This endpoint displays a web page that shows per-tenant statistics updated in real time, including the total number of active series across all ingesters and the current ingestion rate displayed in samples per second.

Note: This endpoint requires all ingesters to be ACTIVE in the ring for a successful response.

HA tracker status

GET /distributor/ha_tracker

This endpoint displays a web page with the current status of the HA tracker, including the elected replica for each Prometheus HA cluster.

Ingester

The following endpoints relate to the ingester.

Flush chunks / blocks

GET,POST /ingester/flush

This endpoint triggers a flush of the in-memory series time series data to the long-term storage. This endpoint also triggers the flush when -blocks-storage.tsdb.flush-blocks-on-shutdown is disabled.

This endpoint accepts a tenant parameter to specify the tenant whose blocks are compacted and shipped. This parameter might be specified multiple times to select more tenants. If no tenant is specified, all tenants are flushed.

The flush endpoint also accepts a wait=true parameter, which makes the call synchronous, and only returns a status code after flushing completes.

Note: The returned status code does not reflect the result of flush operation.

Shutdown

GET,POST /ingester/shutdown

This endpoint flushes in-memory time series data from ingesters to the long-term storage, and then shuts down the ingester service. After the shutdown endpoint returns, the operator or any automation that’s used terminates the process with a SIGINT / SIGTERM signal. During this time, /ready does not return 200. This endpoint unregisters the ingester from the ring even if you disable -ingester.ring.unregister-on-shutdown.

This API endpoint is usually used by scale down automations.

Ingesters ring status

GET /ingester/ring

This endpoint displays a web page with the ingesters hash ring status, including the state, health, and last heartbeat time of each ingester.

Querier / Query-frontend

The following endpoints are exposed both by the querier and query-frontend.

Label names cardinality

GET,POST <prometheus-http-prefix>/api/v1/cardinality/label_names

Returns realtime label names cardinality across all ingesters, for the authenticated tenant, in JSON format. It counts distinct label values per label name.

As far as this endpoint generates cardinality report using only values from currently opened TSDBs in ingesters, two subsequent calls may return completely different results, if ingester did a block cutting between the calls.

The items in the field cardinality are sorted by label_values_count in DESC order and by label_name in ASC order.

The count of items is limited by limit request param.

This endpoint is disabled by default and can be enabled via the -querier.cardinality-analysis-enabled CLI flag (or its respective YAML config option).

Requires authentication.

Request params

  • selector - optional - specifies PromQL selector that will be used to filter series that must be analyzed.
  • limit - optional - specifies max count of items in field cardinality in response (default=20, min=0, max=500)

Response schema

  "label_values_count_total": <number>,
  "label_names_count": <number>,
  "cardinality": [
    {
      "label_name": <string>,
      "label_values_count": <number>
    }
  ]
}

Label values cardinality

GET,POST <prometheus-http-prefix>/api/v1/cardinality/label_values

Returns realtime label values cardinality associated to request param label_names[] across all ingesters, for the authenticated tenant, in JSON format. It returns the series count per label value associated to request param label_names[].

As far as this endpoint generates cardinality report using only values from currently opened TSDBs in ingesters, two subsequent calls may return completely different results, if ingester did a block cutting between the calls.

The items in the field labels are sorted by series_count in DESC order and by label_name in ASC order. The items in the field cardinality are sorted by series_count in DESC order and by label_value in ASC order.

The count of cardinality items is limited by request param limit.

This endpoint is disabled by default and can be enabled via the -querier.cardinality-analysis-enabled CLI flag (or its respective YAML config option).

Requires authentication.

Request params

  • label_names[] - required - specifies labels for which cardinality must be provided.
  • selector - optional - specifies PromQL selector that will be used to filter series that must be analyzed.
  • limit - optional - specifies max count of items in field cardinality in response (default=20, min=0, max=500).

Start block upload

POST /api/v1/upload/block/{block}/start

Starts the uploading of a TSDB block with a given ID to object storage. The client should send the block’s meta.json file as the request body. If the complete block already exists in object storage, a 409 (Conflict) status code gets returned. If the provided meta.json file is invalid, a 400 (Bad Request) status code gets returned. If the block’s max time is before the tenant’s retention period, a 422 (Unprocessable Entity) status code gets returned.

The provided meta.json file must have a thanos.files section with the list of the block’s files, otherwise the request will be rejected.

If the API request succeeds, a sanitized version of the block’s meta.json file gets uploaded to object storage as uploading-meta.json, and a 200 status code gets returned. Then you can start uploading files, and once done, you can request completion of the block upload.

Requires authentication.

Upload block file

POST /api/v1/upload/block/{block}/files?path={path}

Uploads a file with a given path, for a block with a given ID. The file path has to be one of the following, otherwise a 400 (Bad Request) status code gets returned:

  • index
  • chunks/<6-digit number>

The client must send the content of the file as the body of the request; if the body is empty, a 400 (Bad Request) status code gets returned. If the complete block already exists in object storage, a 409 (Conflict) status code gets returned. If an in-flight meta file (uploading-meta.json) doesn’t exist in object storage for the block in question, a 404 (Not Found) status code gets returned.

If the API request succeeds, the file gets uploaded with the given path to the block’s directory in object storage, and a 200 status code gets returned.

Requires authentication.

Complete block upload

POST /api/v1/upload/block/{block}/finish

Initiates the completion of a TSDB block with a given ID to object storage. If the complete block already exists in object storage, a 409 (Conflict) status code gets returned. If an in-flight meta file (uploading-meta.json) doesn’t exist in object storage for the block in question, a 404 (Not Found) status code gets returned.

If the API request succeeds, compactor will start the block validation in the background. If the background validation passes block upload is finished by renaming in-flight meta file to meta.json in the block’s directory.

This API endpoint returns 200 (OK) at the beginning of the validation. To further check state of the block upload, use Check block upload API endpoint.

Requires authentication.

This API endpoint is experimental and subject to change.

Check block upload

GET /api/v1/upload/block/{block}/check

Returns state of the block upload. State is returned as JSON object with field result, with following possible values:

  • complete – block validation is complete, and block upload is now finished.
  • uploading – block is still being uploaded, and Complete block upload has not yet been called on the block.
  • validating – block is being validated. Validation was started by call to Complete block upload API.
  • failed – block validation has failed. Error message is available from error field of the returned JSON object.

Example response
