Prometheus still monitoring itself even after i have removed it from the config.

[ady007]

I wanted to stop prometheus from monitoring itself. I removed it from the config file and restarted the service. But it still shows metrics about itself rather than just from the service i want it to monitor.

I see nothing unusual here, the metric list in 1.x is across the entire retention period.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/prometheus-users is generally the best place for usage questions.
