A highly loaded server may require increased value for a graceful shutdown (default 7s) -http.pathPrefix string An optional prefix to add to all the paths handled by http server. For example, if '-http.pathPrefix=/foo/bar' is set, then all the http requests will be handled on '/foo/bar/*' paths. This may be useful for proxied requests. See https://www.robustperception.io/using-external-urls-and-proxies-with-prometheus -http.shutdownDelay duration Optional delay before http server shutdown. During this delay, the server returns non-OK responses from /health page, so load balancers can route new requests to other servers -httpAuth.password value Password for HTTP server's Basic Auth.
