Prom 2.0: Not able to Query older data properly

[KalivarapuReshma]

When we point prometheus 2.0 to a data directory that is 5 days old, the expression browser should show series from older blocks too, but it only shows series from head block.

Further, this query fails: {__name__=~".+"} over the 2y period with no datapoints found.

Was all your data written by Prometheus 2.0 or are those still files from Prometheus 1.x?

Sorry, so I was creating blocks via TSDB and then checking. The blocks I created were for a short period and the step function just crosses over.

Lots of debugging into the querier and tsdb codebase revealed this to me (:
