'--web.config.file' flag not existing

[david-loe]

$ docker run -v $PWD/json_exporter/:/etc/config/ prometheuscommunity/json-exporter --config.file=/etc/config/config.yml --web.config.file=/etc/config/web.yml
json_exporter: error: unknown long flag '--web.config.file', try --help

The flag is named '--web.config' other than mentioned in Web Configuration

Hello, I am having the same issue. The flag --web.config.file doesn't exist nor the --web.config. Any advice on this?

[david-loe]

'--web.config=/path/to/file/in/container' works for me

[Andreas-Kreouzos]

When I am typing prometheus --help, the flag doesn't appear. Does it have to do with the version of Prometheus?

[david-loe]

This is not a flag for Prometheus but for json-exporter

This has been resolved in https://github.com/prometheus-community/json_exporter/pull/199 now.
