I'm not sure if this is the right place. So pls point me to the right one if this question belongs somewhere else.
With Graphite I can set the metric time and they get written as such to the Whisper-file. With this I could store historical data or data which were a bit "older". AFAIK This doesn't work with Prometheus since it sets the time itself to now(). Can I do this with your graphite-proxy and Mimir?
BTW I luv what your doing here. No more dedicated Graphite and Prometheus installations!
Many thanks

This is because you're doing push writes so you send a list metrics with pairs of timestamps and values and graphite just writes them into the whisper files, is that right?

This is right if you rely on prometheus scraping your metrics, they are pull based writes so prometheus sets the timestamp to the time of the scrape. However you could write metrics using the remote write endpoint and set the timestamps yourself. This is however not the mainstream way of using prometheus.
Can I do this with your graphite-proxy and Mimir?
Yes it is possible to do this for two reasons:
Our graphite proxy supports the graphite API so you can do push writes just like you've been doing so far.
Mimir has now support for out-of-order samples https://github.com/grafana/mimir/releases/tag/mimir-2.2.0 although it is flagged as experimental. You'd have to enable this feature and increase the out of order time window to the amount of time you require.
