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.
