Prometheus Server does not read recording rule file

[Steve]

Hi

I am struggling with a simple problem.

My Prometheus Server (running in a container) does not want to read the recording rule defined in a recording rule file.

The recording file has successfully passed the unit test as follows:

  SUCCESS: 1 rules found

The prometheus.yml is properly configured with the recording rule file.

I can see the running configuration as  follows:

rule_files: - /root/steve-recording-rules-1.yml

But  when I check the Prometheus UI, I see no recording rules:

I also don't find the new metric name in the expression browser.

This is strange!

rule_files:
- /root/steve-recording-rules-1.yml

This is file globbing. What is means is that prometheus can also take
e.g. * to read multiple files.
The consequence of this is that prometheus will NOT error if
/root/steve-recording-rules-1.yml does not exist.

I would suggest you verify that your prometheus user can read the file
in this location, and that the filename is correct. Is the file
collectly added/mounted in the container?
