This is a very deliberate decision. The discussion happened in various forms. We plan to document non-goals with a bit of justification in the docs to spare people the time to look it up, see prometheus/docs#149 (comment) . tl;dr: There will be no config API. Those that need it can build a wrapper that provides an API, creates a config file on the other end and sends a SIGHUP. |

Prometheus is great, however, like many other Linux software, it only has APIs for core business but leaves configurations to old-style text files.
As the current trend for software is APIs define everything, I suggest Prometheus adding support for configuration APIs so people don't have to reload configuration by modifying a text file and calling
kill -1.
