Docker compose to bring up a Prometheus server

Question

Can somebody provide me with a docker-compose file to bring up a Prometheus server on a Linux system?

Thanks in advanace!

Answer 1

I think this docker-compose should be helpful. Have a look at it:

version: '3'
networks:
  monitor-net:
    driver: bridge
volumes:
    prometheus_data: {}
services:
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus:latest
    container_name: prometheus
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus/:/etc/prometheus/
      - prometheus_data:/prometheus
    command:
      - '--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml'
      - '--storage.tsdb.path=/prometheus'
      - '--web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries'
      - '--web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles'
      - '--storage.tsdb.retention=200h'
      - '--web.enable-lifecycle'
    # restart: unless-stopped
    expose:
      - 9090
    ports:
      - "9090:9090"
    networks:
      - monitor-net

Very Nice
But I have a question

Where is the prometheus.yml file located and what changes we have to do in embedding that file. What is the location of that file?

You can find prometheus.yml file inside /etc/prometheus folder.
