Metric time series (MTS) data objects stored within in-memory storage are marked as inactive in response to determining that no MTS data has been received for the MTS objects within a first predetermined time period. In response to determining that an MTS object has been inactive for longer than a second predetermined time period, the MTS data object is migrated from in-memory storage to on-disk storage. Queries directed to MTS objects are first run against MTS object data stored within in-memory storage, and then against MTS object data stored within on-disk storage. In this way, an amount of in-memory storage needed to store MTS objects may be minimized, while optimizing search performance.
