Bucket #

The bucket component of Thanos is a set of commands to inspect data in object storage buckets. It is normally run as a stand alone command to aid with troubleshooting.

Example:

$ thanos bucket verify --objstore.config-file=bucket.yml

The content of bucket.yml:

type: GCS
config:
  bucket: example-bucket

Bucket can be extended to add more subcommands that will be helpful when working with object storage buckets by adding a new command within /cmd/thanos/bucket.go.

      --http-address="0.0.0.0:10902"
                                Listen host:port for HTTP endpoints.
      --http-grace-period=2m    Time to wait after an interrupt received for
                                HTTP Server.
      --web.external-prefix=""  Static prefix for all HTML links and redirect
                                URLs in the bucket web UI interface. Actual
                                endpoints are still served on / or the
                                web.route-prefix. This allows thanos bucket web
                                UI to be served behind a reverse proxy that
                                strips a URL sub-path.
      --web.prefix-header=""    Name of HTTP request header used for dynamic
                                prefixing of UI links and redirects. This option
                                is ignored if web.external-prefix argument is
                                set. Security risk: enable this option only if a
                                reverse proxy in front of thanos is resetting
                                the header. The
                                --web.prefix-header=X-Forwarded-Prefix option
                                can be useful, for example, if Thanos UI is
                                served via Traefik reverse proxy with
                                PathPrefixStrip option enabled, which sends the
                                stripped prefix value in X-Forwarded-Prefix
                                header. This allows thanos UI to be served on a
                                sub-path.
      --refresh=30m             Refresh interval to download metadata from
                                remote storage
      --timeout=5m              Timeout to download metadata from remote storage
      --label=LABEL             Prometheus label to use as timeline title
