How does it work- storage.local.retention?

[mokshpooja]

Hi Guys, Was looking into the code of storage.go. Wanting to understand what chain of actions happen after storage-local.retention time frame is met.
Overview would help. Thanks.

Starting point is the loop method:
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/storage/local/storage.go#L993

It goes through all series and performs a "maintenance" on them, which
includes truncating old chunks. You have to take it from there and
explore the code.
