how to change the path where prometheus creates data file

[Anirudh Pasalapudi]

I am trying to change the path of data file creation which will happen when prometheus is deployed. I want to make sure that the data file is not replaced or rewritten when servers with prometheus crashes and new servers are created. Can anyone pls help me how can I achieve this. I am trying to deploy/ run prometheus on ec2 servers using ansible playbooks.

Add a command-line flag to the executable when you start it: e.g.   --storage.tsdb.path=/var/lib/prometheus/data/

The documentation is here: https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#operational-aspects
