The Protocol Buffer compiler supports generating a machine-readable descriptor file encoded as a provided Protocol Buffer message type, which can be used to decode messages that have been encoded with it after-the-fact. The generated descriptor also bundles in dependent message types. We can use this to perform forensics on old Prometheus clients, if necessary.
