lifecycle API is not enabled how to enable i am using this command but its not worked

If I'm understanding correctly, you haven't enabled the lifecycle API, but would like to know how to. You can do so by adding the --web.enable-lifecycle command-line flag to where you start the Prometheus server.

yes, I didn't enable the lifecycle API. I am adding --web. enable-lifecycle this command Prometheus. service file but it does not work. can you suggest where I put this command so I can enable this flag?
I have used this type -
ExecStart= /usr/local/bin/prometheus/prometheus --web.enable-lifecycle --config.file=/usr/local/bin/prometheus/prometheus.yml --storage.tsdb.path=/var/lib/prometheus/data/ --web.external-url=http://172.16.1.194:9010

[LeviHarrison]

Setting --web.external-url=http://172.16.1.194:9010 won't the port Prometheus listens on. You have to add --web.listen-address=:9010 to do so. Now Prometheus should be available on localhost:9010.

Thanks I have made the changes and now service is running and lifecycle api flag also enabled but I can't access Prometheus service in browser. through I can curl pages. I tried in different browsers but no luck

[LeviHarrison]

Are you running Prometheus on a different computer than you're using your browser on?

[jaiswaldj]

I am using my own computer and I have tried my own and different browsers both but it's not working in the browser.
