Summary

  • Clarifies that the OpenMetrics endpoint exposes only the most recently completed one-minute aggregation window
  • Makes explicit that there is no query interface for historical data via this endpoint
  • Advises users to configure their own monitoring system to retain scraped metrics

Why

Users could reasonably assume a scrape endpoint also provides access to historical data. Without this documentation, they would discover the limitation only after building a monitoring setup that does not retain anything.
