      --collector.container-stats-timeout duration   Timeout for collecting container statistics. (default 1s)
  -a, --collector.enable-all                         Enable all collectors by default.
      --collector.enhance-metrics                    enhance all metrics with the same field as for their podman_<...>_info metrics.
  -i, --collector.image                              Enable image collector.
  -n, --collector.network                            Enable network collector.
  -o, --collector.pod                                Enable pod collector.
  -b, --collector.store-labels                       Convert pod/container/image labels on prometheus metrics for each pod/container/image.
  -s, --collector.system                             Enable system collector.
  -v, --collector.volume                             Enable volume collector.
  -w, --collector.whitelisted-labels string          Comma separated list of pod/container/image labels to be converted
                                                     to labels on prometheus metrics for each pod/container/image.
                                                     collector.store_labels must be set to false for this to take effect.
  -d, --debug                                        Set log level to debug.
  -h, --help                                         help for prometheus-podman-exporter
      --version                                      Print version and exit.
      --web.config.file string                       [EXPERIMENTAL] Path to configuration file that can enable TLS or authentication.
  -e, --web.disable-exporter-metrics                 Exclude metrics about the exporter itself (promhttp_*, process_*, go_*).
  -l, --web.listen-address stringArray               Addresses on which to expose metrics and web interface. (default [:9882])
  -m, --web.max-requests int                         Maximum number of parallel scrape requests. Use 0 to disable (default 40)
  -p, --web.telemetry-path string                    Path under which to expose metrics. (default "/metrics")
