Hi,

Below is my prometheus.yml file.  I have the metrics_path set to /node and /snmp.

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'prometheus'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']
    metrics_path: /node
  - job_name: 'node_exporter'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9100']       

  - job_name: 'floor_switches'
    scrape_interval: 1m
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['192.168.2'.45, '192.168.2'.46']
    metrics_path: /snmp
    params:
      module: [if_mib,cisco_wlc]  
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: 127.0.0.1:9116  # SNMP exporter

 When i go to http://servername/(9090 or 9100)/(node or snmp) i get a page that says.



Metrics( this will send me back to http://servername/(9090 or 9100)/metrics.  Is this correct.  Shouldnt i see the data that i am collecting instead.


i have also tested with port 9116


Thx for your help in advance

This is not the endpoint that Prometheus serves metrics on, leave this to the default of /metrics.

Ok i set it back to /metrics.  thx for clarifying that.

what is the point of setting the metrics path /something .  i thought it was so you can see the metrics being collected by the jobs

Prometheus collects metrics by making http requests to remote targets.  The default URL is "target:port/metrics".

The results are stored in the database and can be queried on the Prometheus server web UI, or via the API using things like Grafana.
