That's the correct way to do it - and I've just tested with prometheus 2.45.0 to be sure.
Therefore, if it's not working, it means you're not applying this option correctly. Use "ps auxwwww | grep prometheus" to see what actual command line options you're passing. If this is in a .service file, you will need to run "systemctl daemon-reload" to get systemd to re-read your modified file, before "systemctl restart prometheus" I prefer to do it like this: -------- [Unit] Description=Prometheus Server Documentation=https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/ After=network-online.target [Service] User=prometheus Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 TimeoutStopSec=300 WorkingDirectory=/opt/prometheus EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/prometheus ExecStart=/opt/prometheus/prometheus $OPTIONS ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target -------- where /etc/default/prometheus contains OPTIONS='--web.enable-admin-api --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --storage.tsdb.path=/var/lib/prometheus/data/ --storage.tsdb.wal-compression --log.level=info --storage.tsdb.retention.time=366d --web.enable-remote-write-receiver' When you change the options here, no "daemon-reload" is necessary, just a restart.
