web.console.templates is not overridden by passed argument

[anioool]

Hi,

I planed to add node extractor and use the default templates for that. I tried to call the template but I am receiving the same error - files don't exist. I checked the command line flags and I found that flag web.console.templates contains default value instead of value which i passed in command line.

I am executing prometheus by using following commad:
/bin/prometheus -config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml \ -storage.local.path=/prometheus \ -alertmanager.url=http://localhost:9093 \ -web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries \ -web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles \ -logtostderr
Tested with versions : 0.18.0 and 0.19.2

This is working correctly for me on 0.18.0 and 0.19.2. Are you sure you're talking to the Prometheus you think you're talking to?

Strange... I am using the docker and deployments scripts for kubernetes cluster. For web.console.libraries flag I do not have any problems.

Dockerfile
`FROM prom/prometheus

COPY prometheus.yaml /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
COPY alerts_config /etc/prometheus/alerts_config

VOLUME [ "/prometheus" ]
WORKDIR /prometheus

EXPOSE 9090
CMD ["/bin/prometheus", "-config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml", "-storage.local.path=/prometheus", "-logtostderr", "-web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries", "-web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles" ]
`

Container
- name: prometheus-init image: registry.xxx/prometheus:1.2.0 command: - /bin/sh - -c - | while [ ! -f /data/lock/alertmanager.lock ] do echo 'Alertmanager is still not up and running. Sleep 10 seconds...' sleep 10 done echo 'Trying to launch prometheus app...' && /bin/prometheus -config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml \ -storage.local.path=/prometheus \ -alertmanager.url=http://localhost:9093 \ -web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries \ -web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles \ -logtostderr volumeMounts: - name: prometheus-data mountPath: /data/lock imagePullSecrets: - name: registry.xxx.com

Hi,

Maybe it will sound stupid by changed the order of passed parameters and after that web.console.templates flag has been overridden.

Sorry for raising not necessary ticket.
