I have a file like

# HELP process_cpu_user_seconds_total Total user CPU time spent in seconds.
# TYPE process_cpu_user_seconds_total counter
process_cpu_user_seconds_total{NODE_APP_INSTANCE="undefined",instance="127.0.0.1:9091",job="my_server"} 3.938 1689042066
# HELP process_cpu_system_seconds_total Total system CPU time spent in seconds.
# TYPE process_cpu_system_seconds_total counter
process_cpu_system_seconds_total{NODE_APP_INSTANCE="undefined",instance="127.0.0.1:9091",job="my_server"} 0.593 1689042066
# HELP nodejs_gc_duration_seconds Garbage collection duration by kind, one of major, minor, incremental or weaken.
# TYPE nodejs_gc_duration_seconds histogram
nodejs_gc_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.001",kind="minor",NODE_APP_INSTANCE="undefined",instance="127.0.0.1:9091",job="my_server"} 8 1689042066
# EOF

I use promtool tsdb create-blocks-from openmetrics ./the.prom ./data to push this metrics into tsdb,

result is

BLOCK ULID                  MIN TIME       MAX TIME       DURATION     NUM SAMPLES  NUM CHUNKS   NUM SERIES   SIZE
01H51E3HM7YJ90DJ72THJ20QX2  1689042066000  1689042066001  1ms          3            3            3            1419

and i copy the data to the prometheus data. and i can use promtool tsdb dump to see that my metrics is in the tsdb file

{NODE_APP_INSTANCE="undefined", __name__="nodejs_gc_duration_seconds_bucket", instance="localhost:9091", job="my_server", kind="minor", le="0.001"} 8 1689042066000
{NODE_APP_INSTANCE="undefined", __name__="process_cpu_system_seconds_total", instance="localhost:9091", job="my_server"} 0.593 1689042066000
{NODE_APP_INSTANCE="undefined", __name__="process_cpu_user_seconds_total", instance="localhost:9091", job="my_server"} 3.938 1689042066000

but i cannot search this metrics in prometheus and grafana. how to make it work?

I use the docker image. The data folder (e.g. "01H6APG95T79B6XRS3HH0GJBM9") should be copied to /prometheus, so it becomes /prometheus/01H6APG95T79B6XRS3HH0GJBM9

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
