Prometheus WAL Corruptions

Prometheus WAL detected corruption.

This can occur in the case of broken or full filesystems.

  • Check the Prometheus logs for indications of problems.
  • Check the kernel log for filesystem errors.
  • Check the disk space usage.

There is not much to be done here, since corruptions can’t be repaired and are automatically cleaned up by the WAL repair at startup.

  • Validate filesystem is OK and not full.
  • Restart Prometheus.
