Exporter is losing data from time to time

[mfsimonbrz]

Hi

I noticed that the data on Prometheus is missing some points.
This problem happens several times every day and started happening last week.
I run Prometheus v2.1.0 on Kubernetes and RabbitMQ Exporter as well.
I have a dashboard on Grafana with several alerts set and I had to turn them off because it was firing a lot.
I tried to delete the pod, in order to pull a newer image, but it had no effect.
I don't think it's an issue with the exporter itself, but I don't know what should I do to fix the problem.
Is there any configuration I can look in order to have the graphs without gaps again?
Here is a screenshot I took from my Prometheus.

Thank you.

Please provide logfiles of the exporter or check if the exporter logs timeouts. I had the same problem and the solution was to increase the timeout for rabbitmq-scraping.
The root problem was slow performance of the rabbitmq metric collection. Try to update to a new version or increase rabbitmq ressources.

I'm closing this issue. If you still have issue more informations will be needed.

Getting the same as the above.
3.7.7 Rabbitmq,
Prometheus 2.10.0,
kbudde/exporter any of the v1.0 RCs.

Alerts were constantly firing whenever data started coming in again.

If i roll back the exporter to 0.29.0 all is fine again.

Tried increasing the timeout to 60/120 seconds with the same results. Can gladly post stdout logs, but no real errors that i can see.
