Flags: -h, --help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man). --version Show application version. --config.file="prometheus.yml" Prometheus configuration file path. --web.listen-address="0.0.0.0:9090" Address to listen on for UI, API, and telemetry. --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.user-assets=<path> Path to static 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="consoles" Path to the console template directory, available at /consoles. --web.console.libraries="console_libraries" Path to the console library directory. --web.page-title="Prometheus Time Series Collection and Processing Server" Document title of Prometheus instance. --storage.tsdb.path="data/" Base path for metrics storage. --storage.tsdb.retention=15d How long to retain samples in storage. --storage.tsdb.no-lockfile Do not create lockfile in data directory. --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. --storage.remote.read-concurrent-limit=10 Maximum number of concurrent remote read calls. 0 means no limit. --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. --alertmanager.timeout=10s Timeout for sending alerts to Alertmanager. --query.lookback-delta=5m The delta difference allowed for retrieving metrics during expression evaluations. --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 would load more samples than this into memory, so this also limits the number of samples a query can return. --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]
