Unable to load all the rules with * wildcard in a Directory

[Neru007]

What did you do? Trying to load the rules configuration from a directory with *.rules

What did you expect to see? Expected that all the rules file should get loaded

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances? Prometheus unable to load the configuration and getting error "failed to reload config: one or more errors occurred while applying the new configuration (--config.file=/opt/config/prometheus.yml)"

You need to fix your file permissions.
