  2. You can request Prometheus to produce a snapshot of the TSDB by using the /api/v1/admin/tsdb/snapshot API endpoint (only available when the --web.enable-admin-api flag is enabled), and then back up the snapshot.
  3. You can delete time series from the TSDB by using the /api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series API endpoint and then using the /api/v1/admin/tsdb/clean_tombstones to make Prometheus clean up the deleted series (these endpoints will only be available when the --web.enable-admin-api flag is enabled).
