failed creating pyroscope: compactor block range periods should be divisible by the max block duration, but 1h0m0s is not divisible by 3h0m0s

I'm using grafana/pyroscope version v1.2.0

I have configured compactor block_ranges as default and I'm getting below error message as by default block_ranges: | = 1h0m0s,2h0m0s,8h0m0s.

failed creating pyroscope: compactor block range periods should be divisible by the max block duration, but 1h0m0s is not divisible by 3h0m0s

When I try to add below compactor config in compactor block in config.yaml I'm getting - " failed parsing config: /etc/pyroscope/config.yaml: yaml: unmarshal errors: line x: cannot unmarshal !!str 3h0m0s into compactor.DurationList"

-compactor.block-ranges value
List of compaction time ranges. (default 3h0m0s,6h0m0s,12h0m0s)

compactor:
    block_ranges: 3h0m0s

max_block_duration is set to 3h0m0s

So you do need your compactor to use 3h block ranges since that's your current max block duration. If you running a large cluster I suggest you switch to our default 1h.

Now for your error:

compactor:
    block_ranges: [3h0m0s]

Add [] like if it was an array. Sorry for the confusion.

Let me know if you need more help

Thanks @cyriltovena It worked.
