REST API For update Rules about thanos

[ink1337]

Please let me know if it is even possible:)

Hi @ink1337 , There is no API for that right now.

I am working with Kuberenetes and I need to update Alerting Rules/Recording Rules in the runtime and I can't find proper way to do that.

If you are using k8s then you can run Prometheus Operator, which allows you to run Thanos Ruler and you can create/update/delete rules using k8s API.

Thank you for your answer @yeya24 !

do you mean editing PrometheusRule objects directly via the k8s API?

To clarify, I have a service on k8s that should configure Thanos rules at runtime, as is possible via the cortex.
I am also trying to understand the idea of sidecar for thanos, capable of editing rule file and exposing REST API for it.
I am not sure if i am on the right track...

There is no API for that right now.

So, is there a chance for it to be delivered in the future?

I think you can do that. It is similar to how the PrometheusRule works in the operator actually.

No one is currently working on it right now I believe. Contribution is welcomed and we need a proper design for this feature first.
