Issue with Prometheus config edit

[paulwakeford]

Hi,

After following the instructions at https://sdr-enthusiasts.gitbook.io/ads-b/useful-extras/alternative-graphing-with-prometheus-grafana in section Deploying, my Prometheus container was starting then immediately stopping citing an error in the config file. The 'docker exec -it' command listed produces a prometheus.yml file that ends like this:

scrape_configs:

The job name is added as a label job=<job_name> to any timeseries scraped from this config.

• job_name: "prometheus"

  metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'

  scheme defaults to 'http'.

  static_configs:

  • targets: ["localhost:9090"]

• job_name: 'ultrafeeder'
  static_configs:

• targets: ['ultrafeeder:9273']

I don't know if it's the spacing or the quote marks (and now I have it working I don't want to break it again just to check ;) ) but when I changed it to match the existing format like this:

scrape_configs:

The job name is added as a label job=<job_name> to any timeseries scraped from this config.

• job_name: "prometheus"

  metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'

  scheme defaults to 'http'.

  static_configs:

  • targets: ["localhost:9090"]

• job_name: "ultrafeeder"
  static_configs:

  • targets: ["ultrafeeder:9273"]

.. it worked.
