University of Toronto ☛ The expected size of a gap in a Prometheus range vector (sometimes)
As we've seen before, Prometheus randomizes the scrape time for any particular target. If you scrape a target every fifteen seconds, it will almost never be scraped at x:00, x:15, x:30, and x:45; instead it will almost always be scraped at some constant offset that varies from target to target. This is sensible behavior to keep all of your scrape targets from being hammered like clockwork at the start of every minute, but it also means that a range query will almost never align exactly with the scrape times for a particular target.
