Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Found reviewing what production's traces and metrics leave out, 2026-10-25. Prometheus scrapes ipx, the directory and node, not Tempo, Loki, Alloy or itself. Tempo counts the failure it had on 2026-10-25 (tempodb_blocklist_poll_errors_total) and Alloy what it ships; neither was looked at. Wanted: scrape jobs for all four, and an alert on Tempo's poll errors.
Fixed: Prometheus scrapes prometheus, tempo, loki and alloy (prometheus.yml in /mnt/fast/appdata/prometheus/etc, backup .pre-monitoring); Alloy's command sets --server.http.listen-addr=0.0.0.0:12345 so it can be reached. All up. The Tempo alert reads tempodb_blocklist_tenant_index_age_seconds and tempodb_blocklist_length. Deployed 2026-10-25.
