Promscale has been discontinued about promscale HOT 7 OPEN

Hi, we are currently researching to create an observability stack and would like to use TimescaleDB as its storage. However, it seems that now as Promscale is deprecated, there is no part left that would connect either Jaeger / OTEL / Prometheus with Timescale. How could we achieve this?

As a side remark: when searching for connecting OTEL with Timescale, the results are still full of mentions of Promscale. In addition, there are articles in the Timescale blog that refer to Promscale without even mentioning its deprecation. The deprecation notice on the top of the promscale does not mention a sane replacement (neither are the alternatives mentioned above really useful). IMHO deprecating Promscale looks like cutting off Timescale from a multitude of use cases involving OTEL / Jaeger / Prometheus. In our case, we might have to look elsewhere for a storage if we cannot find a replacement for Promscale, even though we have compelling reasons to prefer Timescale to all the other considered alternatives.

But this is the best storage solution for self-hosted Prometheus metrics 😭

Bummer, we have a significant amount of custom reporting that pulls data out of the hypertables. Not trivial to replace with Mimir. Any chance of a community maintained fork happening?

Hey, I'm sorry to see this discontinued, but I understand the need for hard prioritization decisions. It was always a pleasure seeing Promscale at Prometheus Day and KubeCon events.

Just to clarify, is TimeScale shifting away from observability data altogether? Or just away from Prometheus compatibility?

Thanks, @aantn. This announcement only affects Promscale.

Timescale will continue to evolve as a flexible and powerful database that can be used for a number of different use cases.

Hey, can anyone suggest a method to connect node exporter to TimescaleDB?
