]# ./prometheus --help
usage: prometheus [<flags>]
The Prometheus monitoring server
Flags:
-h, --help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).

--config.file="prometheus.yml"
Prometheus configuration file path.
--web.listen-address="0.0.0.0:9090"

--web.read-timeout=5m Maximum duration before timing out read of the request, and closing idle connections.
--web.max-connections=512 Maximum number of simultaneous connections.
--web.external-url=<URL> The URL under which Prometheus is externally reachable (for example, if Prometheus is served
via a reverse proxy). Used for generating relative and absolute links back to Prometheus
itself. If the URL has a path portion, it will be used to prefix all HTTP endpoints served by
Prometheus. If omitted, relevant URL components will be derived automatically.
--web.route-prefix=<path> Prefix for the internal routes of web endpoints. Defaults to path of --web.external-url.
--web.user-assets=<path> Path to static asset directory, available at /user.
--web.enable-lifecycle Enable shutdown and reload via HTTP request.
--web.enable-admin-api Enable API endpoints for admin control actions.
--web.console.templates="consoles"
Path to the console template directory, available at /consoles.
--web.console.libraries="console_libraries"
Path to the console library directory.
--web.page-title="Prometheus Time Series Collection and Processing Server"
Document title of Prometheus instance.
--storage.tsdb.path="data/"
Base path for metrics storage.
--storage.tsdb.retention=15d
How long to retain samples in storage.
--storage.tsdb.no-lockfile
Do not create lockfile in data directory.
--storage.remote.flush-deadline=<duration>
How long to wait flushing sample on shutdown or config reload.
--storage.remote.read-sample-limit=5e7
Maximum overall number of samples to return via the remote read interface, in a single query.
0 means no limit.
--storage.remote.read-concurrent-limit=10
Maximum number of concurrent remote read calls. 0 means no limit.
--rules.alert.for-outage-tolerance=1h
Max time to tolerate prometheus outage for restoring 'for' state of alert.
--rules.alert.for-grace-period=10m
Minimum duration between alert and restored 'for' state. This is maintained only for alerts
with configured 'for' time greater than grace period.
--rules.alert.resend-delay=1m
Minimum amount of time to wait before resending an alert to Alertmanager.
--alertmanager.notification-queue-capacity=10000
The capacity of the queue for pending Alertmanager notifications.
--alertmanager.timeout=10s
Timeout for sending alerts to Alertmanager.
--query.lookback-delta=5m The delta difference allowed for retrieving metrics during expression evaluations.
--query.timeout=2m Maximum time a query may take before being aborted.
--query.max-concurrency=20
Maximum number of queries executed concurrently.
--query.max-samples=50000000
Maximum number of samples a single query can load into memory. Note that queries will fail if
they would load more samples than this into memory, so this also limits the number of samples
a query can return.
--log.level=info Only log messages with the given severity or above. One of: [debug, info, warn, error]
--log.format=logfmt Output format of log messages. One of: [logfmt, json]
