Bulk imports are planned: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/535

Note that bulk really means bulk. This is for one-off loads, not doing push.

Any thoughts on a timeframe? This is the only thing holding me back from using Prometheus in any sort of serious way.

There's no hard timeline as we're an open source project, but hopefully in the next 6-12 months.

If this is holding you back from seriously Prometheus, then Prometheus is possibly not the right tool for you. Prometheus is about the here and now.

Despite your consistently dismissive attitude, it IS the right tool for me, the teams I work on/with, and side projects.

If that's not what prometheus is for, you should seriously consider adding a more-explicit mention of it in the documentation. Going through the docs, I'm finding nothing plainly obvious mentioning that about prometheus. At least put it in the FAQ, ffs.

What needs to be code-wise to get it going sooner?
