Configuration	1

Configuration

Prometheus is configured via command-line flags and a configuration file. While the command-line flags configure immutable system parameters (such as storage locations, amount of data to keep on disk and in memory, etc.), the configuration file defines everything related to scraping jobs and their instances, as well as which rule files to load.

To view all available command-line flags, run ./prometheus -h.

Prometheus can reload its configuration at runtime. If the new configuration is not well-formed, the changes will not be applied. A configuration reload is triggered by sending a SIGHUP to the Prometheus process or sending a HTTP POST request to the /-/reload endpoint (when the --web.enable-lifecycle flag is enabled). This will also reload any configured rule files.

Configuration file

To specify which configuration file to load, use the --config.file flag.

The file is written in YAML format, defined by the scheme described below. Brackets indicate that a parameter is optional. For non-list parameters the value is set to the specified default.

Generic placeholders are defined as follows:

<boolean>: a boolean that can take the values true or false
<duration>: a duration matching the regular expression ((([0-9]+)y)?(([0-9]+)w)?(([0-9]+)d)?(([0-9]+)h)?(([0-9]+)m)?(([0-9]+)s)?(([0-9]+)ms)?|0), e.g. 1d, 1h30m, 5m, 10s
<filename>: a valid path in the current working directory
<float>: a floating-point number
<host>: a valid string consisting of a hostname or IP followed by an optional port number
<int>: an integer value
<labelname>: a string matching the regular expression [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*. Any other unsupported character in the source label should be converted to an underscore. For example, the label app.kubernetes.io/name should be written as app_kubernetes_io_name.
<labelvalue>: a string of unicode characters
<path>: a valid URL path
<scheme>: a string that can take the values http or https
<secret>: a regular string that is a secret, such as a password
<string>: a regular string
<size>: a size in bytes, e.g. 512MB. A unit is required. Supported units: B, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB.
<tmpl_string>: a string which is template-expanded before usage

The other placeholders are specified separately.

A valid example file can be found here.

The global configuration specifies parameters that are valid in all other configuration contexts. They also serve as defaults for other configuration sections.

`<scrape_config>`

A scrape_config section specifies a set of targets and parameters describing how to scrape them. In the general case, one scrape configuration specifies a single job. In advanced configurations, this may change.

Targets may be statically configured via the static_configs parameter or dynamically discovered using one of the supported service-discovery mechanisms.

Additionally, relabel_configs allow advanced modifications to any target and its labels before scraping.

# labels, and labels generated by service discovery implementations).
#
# If honor_labels is set to "true", label conflicts are resolved by keeping label
# values from the scraped data and ignoring the conflicting server-side labels.
#
# If honor_labels is set to "false", label conflicts are resolved by renaming
# conflicting labels in the scraped data to "exported_<original-label>" (for
# example "exported_instance", "exported_job") and then attaching server-side
# labels.
#
# Setting honor_labels to "true" is useful for use cases such as federation and
# scraping the Pushgateway, where all labels specified in the target should be

Note that the IP number and port used to scrape the targets is assembled as <__meta_consul_address>:<__meta_consul_service_port>. However, in some Consul setups, the relevant address is in __meta_consul_service_address. In those cases, you can use the relabel feature to replace the special __address__ label.

The relabeling phase is the preferred and more powerful way to filter services or nodes for a service based on arbitrary labels. For users with thousands of services it can be more efficient to use the Consul API directly which has basic support for filtering nodes (currently by node metadata and a single tag).

`<digitalocean_sd_config>`

DigitalOcean SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from DigitalOcean's Droplets API. This service discovery uses the public IPv4 address by default, by that can be changed with relabeling, as demonstrated in the Prometheus digitalocean-sd configuration file.

See this example Prometheus configuration file for a detailed example of configuring Prometheus for Docker Swarm.

`<dns_sd_config>`

A DNS-based service discovery configuration allows specifying a set of DNS domain names which are periodically queried to discover a list of targets. The DNS servers to be contacted are read from /etc/resolv.conf.

This service discovery method only supports basic DNS A, AAAA, MX, NS and SRV record queries, but not the advanced DNS-SD approach specified in RFC6763.

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

__meta_dns_name: the record name that produced the discovered target.
__meta_dns_srv_record_target: the target field of the SRV record
__meta_dns_srv_record_port: the port field of the SRV record
__meta_dns_mx_record_target: the target field of the MX record
__meta_dns_ns_record_target: the target field of the NS record

# A list of DNS domain names to be queried.
names:
  [ - <string> ]

# The type of DNS query to perform. One of SRV, A, AAAA, MX or NS.
[ type: <string> | default = 'SRV' ]

# The port number used if the query type is not SRV.
[ port: <int>]

# The time after which the provided names are refreshed.
[ refresh_interval: <duration> | default = 30s ]

`<ec2_sd_config>`

EC2 SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from AWS EC2 instances. The private IP address is used by default, but may be changed to the public IP address with relabeling.

The IAM credentials used must have the ec2:DescribeInstances permission to discover scrape targets, and may optionally have the ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones permission if you want the availability zone ID available as a label (see below).

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

__meta_ec2_ami: the EC2 Amazon Machine Image
__meta_ec2_architecture: the architecture of the instance
__meta_ec2_availability_zone: the availability zone in which the instance is running

`<openstack_sd_config>`

OpenStack SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from OpenStack Nova instances.

One of the following <openstack_role> types can be configured to discover targets:

`hypervisor`

The hypervisor role discovers one target per Nova hypervisor node. The target address defaults to the host_ip attribute of the hypervisor.

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

__meta_openstack_address_pool: the pool of the private IP.
__meta_openstack_instance_flavor: the flavor of the OpenStack instance.
__meta_openstack_instance_id: the OpenStack instance ID.

`<ovhcloud_sd_config>`

OVHcloud SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from OVHcloud's dedicated servers and VPS using their API. Prometheus will periodically check the REST endpoint and create a target for every discovered server. The role will try to use the public IPv4 address as default address, if there's none it will try to use the IPv6 one. This may be changed with relabeling. For OVHcloud's public cloud instances you can use the openstack_sd_config.

`<puppetdb_sd_config>`

PuppetDB SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from PuppetDB resources.

This SD discovers resources and will create a target for each resource returned by the API.

The resource address is the certname of the resource and can be changed during relabeling.

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

__meta_puppetdb_query: the Puppet Query Language (PQL) query

`<file_sd_config>`

File-based service discovery provides a more generic way to configure static targets and serves as an interface to plug in custom service discovery mechanisms.

It reads a set of files containing a list of zero or more <static_config>s. Changes to all defined files are detected via disk watches and applied immediately. Files may be provided in YAML or JSON format. Only changes resulting in well-formed target groups are applied.

Files must contain a list of static configs, using these formats:

JSON

[
  {
    "targets": [ "<host>", ... ],
    "labels": {
      "<labelname>": "<labelvalue>", ...
    }
  },
  ...
]

YAML

- targets:
  [ - '<host>' ]
  labels:
    [ <labelname>: <labelvalue> ... ]

As a fallback, the file contents are also re-read periodically at the specified refresh interval.

Each target has a meta label __meta_filepath during the relabeling phase. Its value is set to the filepath from which the target was extracted.

There is a list of integrations with this discovery mechanism.

# Patterns for files from which target groups are extracted.
files:
  [ - <filename_pattern> ... ]

# Refresh interval to re-read the files.
[ refresh_interval: <duration> | default = 5m ]

Where <filename_pattern> may be a path ending in .json, .yml or .yaml. The last path segment may contain a single * that matches any character sequence, e.g. my/path/tg_*.json.

`<gce_sd_config>`

GCE SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from GCP GCE instances. The private IP address is used by default, but may be changed to the public IP address with relabeling.

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

__meta_gce_instance_id: the numeric id of the instance
__meta_gce_instance_name: the name of the instance
__meta_gce_label_<labelname>: each GCE label of the instance, with any unsupported characters converted to an underscore
__meta_gce_machine_type: full or partial URL of the machine type of the instance
__meta_gce_metadata_<name>: each metadata item of the instance
__meta_gce_network: the network URL of the instance
__meta_gce_private_ip: the private IP address of the instance
__meta_gce_interface_ipv4_<name>: IPv4 address of each named interface
__meta_gce_project: the GCP project in which the instance is running
__meta_gce_public_ip: the public IP address of the instance, if present
__meta_gce_subnetwork: the subnetwork URL of the instance
__meta_gce_tags: comma separated list of instance tags
__meta_gce_zone: the GCE zone URL in which the instance is running

See below for the configuration options for GCE discovery:

# The information to access the GCE API.

# The GCP Project
project: <string>

# The zone of the scrape targets. If you need multiple zones use multiple
# gce_sd_configs.
zone: <string>

# Filter can be used optionally to filter the instance list by other criteria
# Syntax of this filter string is described here in the filter query parameter section:
# https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances/list
[ filter: <string> ]

# Refresh interval to re-read the instance list
[ refresh_interval: <duration> | default = 60s ]

# The port to scrape metrics from. If using the public IP address, this must
# instead be specified in the relabeling rule.
[ port: <int> | default = 80 ]

# The tag separator is used to separate the tags on concatenation
[ tag_separator: <string> | default = , ]

Credentials are discovered by the Google Cloud SDK default client by looking in the following places, preferring the first location found:

a JSON file specified by the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable
a JSON file in the well-known path $HOME/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
fetched from the GCE metadata server

If Prometheus is running within GCE, the service account associated with the instance it is running on should have at least read-only permissions to the compute resources. If running outside of GCE make sure to create an appropriate service account and place the credential file in one of the expected locations.

`<hetzner_sd_config>`

Hetzner SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from Hetzner Cloud API and Robot API. This service discovery uses the public IPv4 address by default, but that can be changed with relabeling, as demonstrated in the Prometheus hetzner-sd configuration file.

The following meta labels are available on all targets during relabeling:

__meta_hetzner_server_id: the ID of the server
__meta_hetzner_server_name: the name of the server

`<http_sd_config>`

HTTP-based service discovery provides a more generic way to configure static targets and serves as an interface to plug in custom service discovery mechanisms.

It fetches targets from an HTTP endpoint containing a list of zero or more <static_config>s. The target must reply with an HTTP 200 response. The HTTP header Content-Type must be application/json, and the body must be valid JSON.

Example response body:

[
  {
    "targets": [ "<host>", ... ],
    "labels": {
      "<labelname>": "<labelvalue>", ...
    }
  },
  ...
]

The endpoint is queried periodically at the specified refresh interval. The prometheus_sd_http_failures_total counter metric tracks the number of refresh failures.

Each target has a meta label __meta_url during the relabeling phase. Its value is set to the URL from which the target was extracted.

# URL from which the targets are fetched.
url: <string>

# Refresh interval to re-query the endpoint.
[ refresh_interval: <duration> | default = 60s ]

__meta_kuma_dataplane: the name of the proxy
__meta_kuma_service: the name of the proxy's associated Service
__meta_kuma_label_<tagname>: each tag of the proxy

By default every app listed in Marathon will be scraped by Prometheus. If not all of your services provide Prometheus metrics, you can use a Marathon label and Prometheus relabeling to control which instances will actually be scraped. See the Prometheus marathon-sd configuration file for a practical example on how to set up your Marathon app and your Prometheus configuration.

By default, all apps will show up as a single job in Prometheus (the one specified in the configuration file), which can also be changed using relabeling.

`<vultr_sd_config>`

Vultr SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from Vultr.

This service discovery uses the main IPv4 address by default, which that be changed with relabeling, as demonstrated in the Prometheus vultr-sd configuration file.

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

__meta_vultr_instance_id : A unique ID for the vultr Instance.
__meta_vultr_instance_label : The user-supplied label for this instance.
__meta_vultr_instance_os : The Operating System name.
__meta_vultr_instance_os_id : The Operating System id used by this instance.

  [ <tls_config> ]

# The port to scrape metrics from.
[ port: <int> | default = 80 ]

# The time after which the instances are refreshed.
[ refresh_interval: <duration> | default = 60s ]

`<static_config>`

A static_config allows specifying a list of targets and a common label set for them. It is the canonical way to specify static targets in a scrape configuration.

# The targets specified by the static config.
targets:
  [ - '<host>' ]

# Labels assigned to all metrics scraped from the targets.
labels:
  [ <labelname>: <labelvalue> ... ]

`<relabel_config>`

Relabeling is a powerful tool to dynamically rewrite the label set of a target before it gets scraped. Multiple relabeling steps can be configured per scrape configuration. They are applied to the label set of each target in order of their appearance in the configuration file.

Initially, aside from the configured per-target labels, a target's job label is set to the job_name value of the respective scrape configuration. The __address__ label is set to the <host>:<port> address of the target. After relabeling, the instance label is set to the value of __address__ by default if it was not set during relabeling. The __scheme__ and __metrics_path__ labels are set to the scheme and metrics path of the target respectively. The __param_<name> label is set to the value of the first passed URL parameter called <name>.

The __scrape_interval__ and __scrape_timeout__ labels are set to the target's interval and timeout. This is experimental and could change in the future.

Additional labels prefixed with __meta_ may be available during the relabeling phase. They are set by the service discovery mechanism that provided the target and vary between mechanisms.

Labels starting with __ will be removed from the label set after target relabeling is completed.

If a relabeling step needs to store a label value only temporarily (as the input to a subsequent relabeling step), use the __tmp label name prefix. This prefix is guaranteed to never be used by Prometheus itself.

# The source labels select values from existing labels. Their content is concatenated
# using the configured separator and matched against the configured regular expression
# for the replace, keep, and drop actions.
[ source_labels: '[' <labelname> [, ...] ']' ]

# Separator placed between concatenated source label values.
[ separator: <string> | default = ; ]

# Label to which the resulting value is written in a replace action.
# It is mandatory for replace actions. Regex capture groups are available.
[ target_label: <labelname> ]

# Regular expression against which the extracted value is matched.
[ regex: <regex> | default = (.*) ]

# Modulus to take of the hash of the source label values.
[ modulus: <int> ]

# Replacement value against which a regex replace is performed if the
# regular expression matches. Regex capture groups are available.
[ replacement: <string> | default = $1 ]

# Action to perform based on regex matching.
[ action: <relabel_action> | default = replace ]

<regex> is any valid RE2 regular expression. It is required for the replace, keep, drop, labelmap,labeldrop and labelkeep actions. The regex is anchored on both ends. To un-anchor the regex, use .*<regex>.*.

<relabel_action> determines the relabeling action to take:

replace: Match regex against the concatenated source_labels. Then, set target_label to replacement, with match group references (${1}, ${2}, ...) in replacement substituted by their value. If regex does not match, no replacement takes place.
lowercase: Maps the concatenated source_labels to their lower case.
uppercase: Maps the concatenated source_labels to their upper case.
keep: Drop targets for which regex does not match the concatenated source_labels.
drop: Drop targets for which regex matches the concatenated source_labels.
keepequal: Drop targets for which the concatenated source_labels do not match target_label.
dropequal: Drop targets for which the concatenated source_labels do match target_label.
hashmod: Set target_label to the modulus of a hash of the concatenated source_labels.
labelmap: Match regex against all source label names, not just those specified in source_labels. Then copy the values of the matching labels to label names given by replacement with match group references (${1}, ${2}, ...) in replacement substituted by their value.
labeldrop: Match regex against all label names. Any label that matches will be removed from the set of labels.
labelkeep: Match regex against all label names. Any label that does not match will be removed from the set of labels.

Care must be taken with labeldrop and labelkeep to ensure that metrics are still uniquely labeled once the labels are removed.

`<metric_relabel_configs>`

Metric relabeling is applied to samples as the last step before ingestion. It has the same configuration format and actions as target relabeling. Metric relabeling does not apply to automatically generated timeseries such as up.

One use for this is to exclude time series that are too expensive to ingest.

`<alert_relabel_configs>`

Alert relabeling is applied to alerts before they are sent to the Alertmanager. It has the same configuration format and actions as target relabeling. Alert relabeling is applied after external labels.

One use for this is ensuring a HA pair of Prometheus servers with different external labels send identical alerts.

`<alertmanager_config>`

An alertmanager_config section specifies Alertmanager instances the Prometheus server sends alerts to. It also provides parameters to configure how to communicate with these Alertmanagers.

Alertmanagers may be statically configured via the static_configs parameter or dynamically discovered using one of the supported service-discovery mechanisms.

Additionally, relabel_configs allow selecting Alertmanagers from discovered entities and provide advanced modifications to the used API path, which is exposed through the __alerts_path__ label.

# Per-target Alertmanager timeout when pushing alerts.
[ timeout: <duration> | default = 10s ]

# The api version of Alertmanager.
[ api_version: <string> | default = v2 ]

# Prefix for the HTTP path alerts are pushed to.
[ path_prefix: <path> | default = / ]

`<tsdb>`

tsdb lets you configure the runtime-reloadable configuration settings of the TSDB.

NOTE: Out-of-order ingestion is an experimental feature, but you do not need any additional flag to enable it. Setting out_of_order_time_window to a positive duration enables it.

# Configures how old an out-of-order/out-of-bounds sample can be w.r.t. the TSDB max time.
# An out-of-order/out-of-bounds sample is ingested into the TSDB as long as the timestamp
# of the sample is >= TSDB.MaxTime-out_of_order_time_window.
#
# When out_of_order_time_window is >0, the errors out-of-order and out-of-bounds are
# combined into a single error called 'too-old'; a sample is either (a) ingestible
# into the TSDB, i.e. it is an in-order sample or an out-of-order/out-of-bounds sample
# that is within the out-of-order window, or (b) too-old, i.e. not in-order
# and before the out-of-order window.
[ out_of_order_time_window: <duration> | default = 0s ]

`<exemplars>`

Note that exemplar storage is still considered experimental and must be enabled via --enable-feature=exemplar-storage.

# Configures the maximum size of the circular buffer used to store exemplars for all series. Resizable during runtime.
[ max_exemplars: <int> | default = 100000 ]

`<tracing_config>`

tracing_config configures exporting traces from Prometheus to a tracing backend via the OTLP protocol. Tracing is currently an experimental feature and could change in the future.

# Client used to export the traces. Options are 'http' or 'grpc'.
[ client_type: <string> | default = grpc ]

# Endpoint to send the traces to. Should be provided in format <host>:<port>.
[ endpoint: <string> ]

# Sets the probability a given trace will be sampled. Must be a float from 0 through 1.
[ sampling_fraction: <float> | default = 0 ]

# If disabled, the client will use a secure connection.
[ insecure: <boolean> | default = false ]

# Key-value pairs to be used as headers associated with gRPC or HTTP requests.
headers:
  [ <string>: <string> ... ]

# Compression key for supported compression types. Supported compression: gzip.
[ compression: <string> ]

# Maximum time the exporter will wait for each batch export.
[ timeout: <duration> | default = 10s ]

# TLS configuration.
