My end goal is to prove monitoring is not running every minute on the server. My word saying it is not, there's no way, the job is not configured to run every minute, is not good enough.
There is a possibility that the two Prometheus servers are scraping at the same time but there is no way the scrapes are happening every minute. The scrape interval is 3m with a scrape time out of 2m45s.
