SYNOPSIS

       prometheus [<flags>]

DESCRIPTION

       The Prometheus monitoring server

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).

       --version
              Show application version.

       --config.file="/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml"
              Prometheus configuration file path.

       --web.listen-address="0.0.0.0:9090"
              Address to listen on for UI, API, and telemetry.

       --web.config.file=""
              [EXPERIMENTAL] Path to configuration file that can enable TLS or authentication.

       --web.read-timeout=5m
              Maximum duration before timing out read of the request, and closing idle connections.

       --web.max-connections=512
              Maximum number of simultaneous connections.

       --web.external-url=<URL>
              The URL under which Prometheus is externally reachable (for example, if Prometheus is served via a
              reverse proxy). Used for generating relative and absolute links back to Prometheus itself. If  the
              URL  has  a  path  portion,  it will be used to prefix all HTTP endpoints served by Prometheus. If
              omitted, relevant URL components will be derived automatically.

       --web.route-prefix=<path>
              Prefix for the internal routes of web endpoints. Defaults to path of --web.external-url.

       --web.local-assets="/usr/share/prometheus/web/"
              Path to static asset/templates directory.

       --web.user-assets=<path>
              Path to user asset directory, available at /user.

       --web.enable-lifecycle
              Enable shutdown and reload via HTTP request.

       --web.enable-admin-api
              Enable API endpoints for admin control actions.

       --web.console.templates="/etc/prometheus/consoles"
              Path to the console template directory, available at /consoles.

       --web.console.libraries="/etc/prometheus/console_libraries"
              Path to the console library directory.

       --web.page-title="Prometheus Time Series Collection and Processing Server"
              Document title of Prometheus instance.

       --web.cors.origin=".*"
              Regex for CORS origin. It is fully anchored. Example: 'https?://(domain1|domain2).com'

       --storage.tsdb.path="/var/lib/prometheus/metrics2/"
              Base path for metrics storage.

       --storage.tsdb.retention=STORAGE.TSDB.RETENTION
              [DEPRECATED] How  long  to  retain  samples  in  storage.  This  flag  has  been  deprecated,  use
              "storage.tsdb.retention.time" instead.

       --storage.tsdb.retention.time=STORAGE.TSDB.RETENTION.TIME
              How   long   to   retain   samples   in   storage.   When   this   flag   is   set   it  overrides
              "storage.tsdb.retention".   If   neither    this    flag    nor    "storage.tsdb.retention"    nor
              "storage.tsdb.retention.size"  is  set, the retention time defaults to 15d. Units Supported: y, w,
              d, h, m, s, ms.

       --storage.tsdb.retention.size=STORAGE.TSDB.RETENTION.SIZE
              Maximum number of bytes that can be stored for blocks. A unit is required, supported units: B, KB,
              MB, GB, TB, PB, EB. Ex: "512MB".

       --storage.tsdb.use-lockfile
              Create a lockfile in data directory.

       --storage.tsdb.allow-overlapping-blocks
              Allow overlapping blocks, which in turn enables vertical compaction and vertical query merge.

       --storage.remote.flush-deadline=<duration>
              How long to wait flushing sample on shutdown or config reload.

       --storage.remote.read-sample-limit=5e7
              Maximum  overall  number  of samples to return via the remote read interface, in a single query. 0
              means no limit. This limit is ignored for streamed response types.

       --storage.remote.read-concurrent-limit=10
              Maximum number of concurrent remote read calls. 0 means no limit.

       --storage.remote.read-max-bytes-in-frame=1048576
              Maximum number of bytes in a  single  frame  for  streaming  remote  read  response  types  before
              marshalling.  Note  that  client  might  have  limit  on frame size as well. 1MB as recommended by
              protobuf by default.

       --rules.alert.for-outage-tolerance=1h
              Max time to tolerate prometheus outage for restoring "for" state of alert.

       --rules.alert.for-grace-period=10m
              Minimum duration between alert and restored "for" state. This is maintained only for  alerts  with
              configured "for" time greater than grace period.

       --rules.alert.resend-delay=1m
              Minimum amount of time to wait before resending an alert to Alertmanager.

       --alertmanager.notification-queue-capacity=10000
              The capacity of the queue for pending Alertmanager notifications.

       --query.lookback-delta=5m
              The maximum lookback duration for retrieving metrics during expression evaluations and federation.

       --query.timeout=2m
              Maximum time a query may take before being aborted.

       --query.max-concurrency=20
              Maximum number of queries executed concurrently.

       --query.max-samples=50000000
              Maximum number of samples a single query can load into memory. Note that queries will fail if they
              try to load more samples than this into memory, so this also limits the number of samples a  query
              can return.

       --enable-feature=
              Comma  separated feature names to enable. Valid options: exemplar-storage, expand-external-labels,
              memory-snapshot-on-shutdown,  promql-at-modifier,  promql-negative-offset,  remote-write-receiver,
              extra-scrape-metrics,                      new-service-discovery-manager.                      See
              https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/feature_flags/ for more details.

       --log.level=info
              Only log messages with the given severity or above. One of: [debug, info, warn, error]

       --log.format=logfmt
              Output format of log messages. One of: [logfmt, json]
