This is a tool that allows you to ship Prometheus metrics which are stored in some directory to Victoria Metrics server using "Prometheus remote write" protocol. Therefore it helps not to lose previously collected metrics by Prometheus if you didn't use Remote write storage from start.

The tool has 2 main commands:

• ls that is analog of ls command of Prometheus' tsdb. This command is useful to inspect of directory containing OpenTSDB block and Wal.
• ship that is able to read blocks and Wal from specified directory and send them to remote URL.

Build command:

go build tsdb-shipper/cmd/ingester

Check the result:

./ingester --help
