Query data from Mimir (using python or any other mode)

[velu4689]

Hi Team,

Currently am using Mimir + Grafana to visualize the data. Is there any additional tool (python/curl) that can be used for querying the data out of Mimir ?

Thanks

Hi,

yes, any tool that can access HTTP endpoints can query the data.

#!/bin/sh

URL=http://mimir-url/api/prom
TENANT=anonymous

curl -s -H "X-Scope-OrgID: $TENANT" "$URL/api/v1/query" -d query="$1" | jq .

For list of endpoints, please see https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/references/http-api/. For querying see "Instant Query" and "Instant Range Query".

@pstibrany : Thanks. But we're observing a weird behavior where, the number of samples returned increases incrementally every 5 mins & then again drops to zero.

Also, how do we add the scrape time interval inside "--selector" while using Mimirtool ?

Hi, to better understand your problem can you please provide an example of result that you’re seeing, and exact request (url, parameters) that you use to query Mimir?
