Hi @kapilgarg83,

I'm not sure that I got you right.
Did you already check our thanos Helm chart? https://github.com/kiwigrid/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/prometheus-thanos

Once you setup Thanos with mentioned Helm chart, you only have to add the thanos sidecar to your prometheus server via values.yaml, something like this:

server:
  sidecarContainers:
        - name: thanos
      image: quay.io/thanos/thanos:v0.7.0
      args:
        - sidecar
        - --log.level=info
        - --tsdb.path=/var/prometheus
        - --prometheus.url=http://localhost:9090

Hope this helps, feel free to re-open the issue if this was not sufficient.

Why it is not in documentation? Chart is up and running, syncing to S3, but there is no data there. If sidecar is not added, then the setup is useless almost, no?
