Hi

I edit of my prometheus.yml and is no longer formatted so nicely.

Can I copy from prometheus.example.com/prom/config to the prometheus.yml
and nothing is lost? Say it the identical config as in my file?
This webUI endpoint pretty print the config?

kind regards
Evelyn

Hi Bjoern

Thank you. I found out the hard way that passwords are replaced with
<secret>. Everything else was working.
