# Receiver

The `thanos receive` command implements the [Prometheus Remote Write API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write). It builds on top of existing Prometheus TSDB and retains its usefulness while extending its functionality with long-term-storage, horizontal scalability, and downsampling. It exposes the StoreAPI so that [Thanos Queriers](query.md) can query received metrics in real-time. The [Thanos Sidecar](sidecar.md) is not sufficient for this, as the system would always lag the block length behind (typically 2 hours).
The `thanos receive` command implements the [Prometheus Remote Write API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write). It builds on top of existing Prometheus TSDB and retains its usefulness while extending its functionality with long-term-storage, horizontal scalability, and downsampling. Prometheus instances are configured to continuously write metrics to it, and then Thanos Receive uploads TSDB blocks to an object storage bucket every 2 hours by default. Thanos Receive exposes the StoreAPI so that [Thanos Queriers](query.md) can query received metrics in real-time.

We recommend this component to users who can only push into a Thanos due to air-gapped, or egress only environments. Please note the [various pros and cons of pushing metrics](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H47v7WfyKkSLMrR8_iku6u9VB73WrVzBHb2SB6dL9_g/edit#heading=h.2v27snv0lsur).
