Create Prometheus as Windows Service

[lukibahr]

Hello everyone,

i've downloaded prometheus for windows and can successfully start it whilst i'm logged in via RDS.
To run it in background, i've tried to wrap a service around but starting it as a MS Windows Service failed.

sc.exe create prometheus_server binPath="PATH_TO_EXE\prometheus.exe --config.file=PATH_TO_CONFIG\prometheus.yml"

After starting the service, prometheus runs for a short time, until (i guess) the service manager runs into a timeout because of a missing response of a successful start.

My current environment

• Windows Sever 2012
• prometheus-2.2.0-rc.1.windows-amd64
• sample/default config file

Do you have any solution for that? Thanks and kind Regards
Lukas

It makes more sense to ask questions like this on the prometheus-users mailing list rather than in a GitHub issue. On the mailing list, more people are available to potentially respond to your question, and the whole community can benefit from the answers provided.
