Different object storage buckets for different tenants about mimir HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks, that answers my question!!

from mimir.

1. Can we use different s3 buckets for different tenants? Is this feature available only available in enterprise edition?

Hello, neither Mimir or Grafana Enterprise Metrics have such feature currently.

2. If not, how to can we set different retention period for different tenant's data. We need to have only one mimir instance but the tenants can be from non-prod/prod environment. For prod we need to set different retention period and for non-prod different. Is it possible?

Yes, this is possible. You can set block retention per tenant by using compactor_blocks_retention_period per-tenant override.

You can find more details here: https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/configure/configure-metrics-storage-retention/

Thanks for your immediate response.

So tenant name is same that we specify in headers (X-Scope-OrgID) under remoteWrite, correct?

remoteWrite:
  headers:
    X-Scope-OrgID: <<tenantname>>

Yes, that is correct.

Make sure to keep multitenancy in Mimir enabled (which is the default value, but can be disabled by setting -auth.multitenancy-enabled CLI option to false), otherwise this X-Scope-OrgID header is ignored and Mimir will use anonymous tenant instead. (https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/manage/secure/authentication-and-authorization/)

Once you start writing to the Mimir and Mimir starts uploading blocks to the bucket, tenant name is also used as top-level prefix inside the bucket.

Yes, Multitenancy is enabled in our environment. I will set the retention per tenant and test it out. Many Thanks!!

In line to similar topic if we want to add two headers while adding datastource in Grafana we need to enable tenant_federation: correct?

Do you want to query both tenants? In that case yes, you will need to enable tenant federation, and then you need to specify both tenants in one X-Scope-OrgID header, and separate them with | (pipe) character. For example X-Scope-OrgID: tenant-1|tenant-2.
