Yes. A full prometheus restart *will* take some minutes to re-read its WAL files.
Therefore, never restart prometheus - unless you need to change the command-line flags or upgrade to a new version. Anything else (e.g. config or recording/alerting rules) can be picked up by a HUP. Changing a file_sd targets file doesn't even need a HUP; it's picked up immediately. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
