# Generate sample Prometheus data Rake task **(FREE SELF)**
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
This command runs Prometheus queries for each of the metrics of a specific environment
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
for a series of time intervals to now:
- 30 minutes
- 3 hours
- 8 hours
- 24 hours
- 72 hours
- 7 days
The results of each of query are stored under a `sample_metrics` directory as a YAML
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
file named by the metric's `identifier` . When the environmental variable `USE_SAMPLE_METRICS`
is set, the Prometheus API query is re-routed to `Projects::Environments::SampleMetricsController`
which loads the appropriate data set if it is present within the `sample_metrics` directory.
