Yes, there is a management REST API call to do this: https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/management_api/#reload which you need to enable with "--web.enable-lifecycle"
Alternatively, you can send a HUP to the process (although you'll need permissions to do this, i.e. run your script as the same user as prometheus, or as root). With systemd I use [Unit] Description=Prometheus Server Documentation=https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/ After=network-online.target [Service] User=prometheus Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 TimeoutStopSec=300 WorkingDirectory=/opt/prometheus EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/prometheus ExecStart=/opt/prometheus/prometheus $OPTIONS *ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID* [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target and then "systemctl reload prometheus" will reload the config (without doing a full restart) On Friday, 17 September 2021 at 17:58:55 UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > I'm using the Prometheus community. > > I am creating my custom python script.
