r/PrometheusMonitoring on Reddit: Defining the metrics path in Python client.
June 25, 2024 -

Hi,

I have a working python script that collects and shows the metrics on: http://localhost:9990/

How would I tell it to display them on the following page instead: http://localhost:9990/metrics

if __name__ == '__main__':
   prometheus_client.start_http_server(9990)

Or is there an easy way in the Prometheus config file to tell it not to default to /metrics ?
