And a third option (for picking up changes after modifying config files) is even simpler:
killall -HUP prometheus This doesn't require setting any config flags. If there's a problem with your configs, prometheus will keep running with the old ones. You can check for errors in the error output, e.g. under systemd it would be "journalctl -eu prometheus" Another useful command is: promtool check config /path/to/prometheus.yaml which can be used to check whether your new config and rules are valid *before* you send the reload signal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
