The 7 falsely-firing platform alerts (KeycloakDown, KeycloakDatabaseDown,
KubeAPIDown, KubeletDown, VPNTunnelDown, KubeVirtControlPlaneDown,
CDINoDefaultStorageClass) share ONE root cause, not per-rule label mismatches:
the Prometheus PVC is 100% full ("no space left on device" on every WAL commit).
Evidence from the live dev cluster:
- /prometheus is 4.8G/5Gi, 0 bytes free; every scrape logs "Scrape commit
failed ... write to WAL: no space left on device". Scrapes still return 200
(targets show healthy, lastScrape=now) but samples are never stored, so the
TSDB head froze at 2026-08-28 13:45 UTC while the pod clock reads ~19:33 UTC.
- Instant queries at "now" therefore return an EMPTY vector, so every
absent()/==0 platform rule trips. Evaluated at the last-good-sample time each
expr is correctly FALSE (keycloak-0/keycloak-db-1 ready=1, apiserver+kubelet
up=1 x3, tun0 series present, kubevirt control-plane expr empty, CDI default
present) — the rules are correct; the monitor was simply blind.
`retention` alone prunes only by AGE: this cluster is 3d2h old with 3d dev
retention, so time-pruning has NEVER run and 3d of block churn (~1.2Gi/day) plus
a WAL that ballooned past 1Gi overran the 5Gi disk. Fix adds a size-based
retention cap (new MONITORING_PROMETHEUS_RETENTION_SIZE knob) kept below each
env's PVC so Prometheus drops oldest blocks before the disk fills, and bumps the
dev PVC 5Gi->8Gi for real WAL/head/compaction headroom.
- platform/monitoring/kube-prometheus-stack.yaml: retentionSize: ${knob}
- clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml: knob default 8GiB (base 10Gi PVC)
- clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml: PVC 5Gi->8Gi, retentionSize 5GiB
- clusters/prod/kustomization.yaml: retentionSize 45GiB (50Gi PVC)
- platform/monitoring/README.md: knob table + rationale
Deploy note (PM): the PVC is already 100% full, so Prometheus cannot self-prune
until it can write. The 5Gi->8Gi bump must land as a Longhorn online expansion
(operator PVC expansion / manual patch); once free space returns, retentionSize
keeps it healthy. Watchdog left untouched.

# When Phase 7 is opened, `flux bootstrap ... --path=clusters/prod` points the prod cluster's Flux

# values (R-ENV-02). Promotion to prod is a change to THESE variables, never a base edit.
