Hello ,

Just started to work with Prometheus migrating from Zabbix , I have installed new installation under Ubuntu 20.04 server

I am trying to make Prometheus work with TLS and basic authentication, i have created web config file web-config.yml and self signed cert and key , in prometheus.yml i have set as following sown below, and also the web-config.yml.

Now when i try to set Prometheus to point to web-config.yml , i am editing

/etc/default/prometheus

and adding following below line , but as soon a i start Prometheus its fail , without option its start normally, but without my config , any thing i missed or wrong added option?

Please advice

Thanks
