#                             Prometheus configuration file path.
#  --web.listen-address="0.0.0.0:9090"
#                             Address to listen on for UI, API, and telemetry.
#  --web.read-timeout=5m      Maximum duration before timing out read of the
#                             request, and closing idle connections.

#                             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

#                             The capacity of the queue for pending alert
#                             manager notifications.
