 | enforcedLabelValueLengthLimit | Per-scrape limit on length of labels value that will be accepted for a sample. If a label value is longer than this number post metric-relabeling, the entire scrape will be treated as failed. 0 means no limit. Only valid in Prometheus versions 2.27.0 and newer. | *uint64 | false |
 | enforcedBodySizeLimit | EnforcedBodySizeLimit defines the maximum size of uncompressed response body that will be accepted by Prometheus. Targets responding with a body larger than this many bytes will cause the scrape to fail. Example: 100MB. If defined, the limit will apply to all service/pod monitors and probes. This is an experimental feature, this behaviour could change or be removed in the future. Only valid in Prometheus versions 2.28.0 and newer. | ByteSize | false |
 | minReadySeconds | Minimum number of seconds for which a newly created pod should be ready without any of its container crashing for it to be considered available. Defaults to 0 (pod will be considered available as soon as it is ready) This is an alpha field and requires enabling StatefulSetMinReadySeconds feature gate. | *uint32 | false |
+| terminationGracePeriodSeconds | Optional duration in seconds the pod needs to terminate gracefully. May be decreased in delete request. Value must be non-negative integer. The value zero indicates stop immediately via the kill signal (no opportunity to shut down). If this value is nil, the default grace period will be used instead. Default value is set to 10 min because Prometheus may take quite long to shutdown to checkpoint existing data. The grace period is the duration in seconds after the processes running in the pod are sent a termination signal and the time when the processes are forcibly halted with a kill signal. Set this value longer than the expected cleanup time for your process. | *uint64 | false |
 | retention | Time duration Prometheus shall retain data for. Default is '24h' if retentionSize is not set, and must match the regular expression `[0-9]+(ms\|s\|m\|h\|d\|w\|y)` (milliseconds seconds minutes hours days weeks years). | string | false |
 | retentionSize | Maximum amount of disk space used by blocks. | ByteSize | false |
 | disableCompaction | Disable prometheus compaction. | bool | false |
