Description
I am upgrading from ambari-2.6.x to ambari-3.1.x (HDF3.1 to HDF - 3.3.1)
after upgrade of HDF and ambari, I follow the command to Migrate the Ambari metrics data:
/usr/sbin/ambari-metrics-collector --config /etc/ambari-metrics-collector/conf/ upgrade_start /etc/ambari-metrics-collector/conf/metrics_whitelist
Now after migration i can see only last 30 days data , all the Metrics data prior to 30 days is lost.
Analysis :
Upon checking the code : https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/release-2.7.3/ambari-metrics/ambari-metrics-timelineservice/src/main/java/org/apache/ambari/metrics/core/timeline/upgrade/core/MetricsDataMigrationLauncher.java#L285
I found the Class MetricsDataMigrationLauncher.java Actually needs `startTime` as an argument which is the StartTime from which the migration need to be done, but we are not giving that anywhere in the code : https://github.com/apache/ambari-metrics/blob/dfaf6a4fcb78a6c0516a769b2fbe9cf449400ee2/ambari-metrics-timelineservice/conf/unix/ambari-metrics-collector#L333
also we are having the Default value of start time as 1 month :
https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/release-2.7.3/ambari-metrics/ambari-metrics-timelineservice/src/main/java/org/apache/ambari/metrics/core/timeline/upgrade/core/MetricsDataMigrationLauncher.java#L72
public static final long DEFAULT_START_TIME = System.currentTimeMillis() - ONE_MONTH_MILLIS; //Last month
so inshort we are only migrating last one months data , but no where in docs we have mentioned that and it caused Data loss to Customer.
