Unable to load configuration file to run prometheus

[parth....@parlamind.com]

Hi all,

I am trying to run prometheus, and I am having the following error:

"Error loading config couldn't load configuration (--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml): parsing YAML file /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml: yaml: line 8: did not find expected key"

My confiuration file:

global:

scrape_interval: 15s

scrape_timeout: 10s

evaluation_interval: 15s

alerting:

alertmanagers:

- static_configs:

- targets: ['192.168.99.100:9132']  (Line 8)

    scheme: http

    timeout: 10s

scrape_configs:

- job_name: prometheus

  scrape_interval: 15s

  scrape_timeout: 10s

  metrics_path: /metrics

  scheme: http

  static_configs:

   - targets: ['localhost:9132']

Any idea what does the error actually mean?

Thanks!

Regards,

Parth

You need to insert 2 spaces at line 8.

Hi Simon,

Could please suggest where to exactly insert two spaces in line 8?

[Simon Pasquier]

In fact your configuration had several indentation issues, YAML isn't the easiest format to get right...

Here is the sanitized version:

Hi Simon,

Tried the sanitized version as well, still returning the same error.!!

[Simon Pasquier]

It doesn't fail for me though. You're probably not using the correct file.

[Parth Bhagat]

I just copied and paste your file, without any modifications, still returning the error.!!

Sorry but this works for me:

curl https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/pfCHjVW9aLJQb37aFRj6Bg/raw > prometheus.yml

prometheus
