There are other advantages to moving targets from static_configs to file_sd_configs.
With targets in file_sd_configs, Prometheus knows how to reload these files without reloading all targets. This improves the scheduling of scrapes, as when you reload Prometheus, all in-flight scrapes are canceled.
