Uninstall Prometheus

[dwalst]

What did you do?
Hello, I installed and configured Prometheus and want to uninstall and reinstall it. Can you tell me how to completely uninstall Prometheus?
I have it installed on RHEL 7

Hi,
It would help if you told how you installed it. In most cases it would be deleting a couple of files (binaries/config).

[dwalst]

tar xvfz prometheus-.tar.gz
cd prometheus-
./prometheus -config.file=prometheus.yml

Uninstalling is as simple as rm -rf prometheus-* :)

Its a single binary so there are no dependencies that are installed anywhere.

Wonderful, awesome, and sweet!!! Thank you very much and have a great day/evening :)

Ok, I was a little premature, as that didn't work, see below:

prometheus-0.19.2.linux-amd64]# rm -rf prometheus-*

prometheus-0.19.2.linux-amd64]# ./prometheus -config.file=prometheus.yml

I CAN STILL FETCH AND VIEW THE CONSOLE AND GRAPH STATISTICS AS WELL.
Do I also need to delete all Prometheus filesystems and related files?

prometheus-0.19.2.linux-amd64]# rm -rf prometheus-*

You were trying to delete the folder from inside. cd .. and then do it.

If you only want to clear the data stored, do rm -rf data/ from the current folder (from where you ran ./prometheus) and rerun it.
