# Management API
|
|
|
|
Prometheus provides a set of management API to ease automation and integrations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Health check
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /-/healthy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This endpoint always returns 200 and should be used to check Prometheus health.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Readiness check
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /-/ready
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This endpoint returns 200 when Prometheus is ready to serve traffic (i.e. respond to queries).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Reload
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PUT /-/reload
|
|
POST /-/reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This endpoint triggers a reload of the Prometheus configuration and rule files. It's disabled by default and can be enabled via the `--web.enable-lifecycle` flag.
|
|
|
|
An alternative way trigger a configuration reload is by sending a `SIGHUP` to the Prometheus process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Quit
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PUT /-/quit
|
|
POST /-/quit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This endpoint triggers a graceful shutdown of Prometheus. It's disabled by default and can be enabled via the `--web.enable-lifecycle` flag.
|
|
|
|
An alternative way trigger a graceful shutdown is by sending a `SIGTERM` to the Prometheus process.
