## Shutting down your instance gracefully. |

While Prometheus does have recovery mechanisms in the case that there is an |
|
|
|
|
abrupt process failure it is recommend to use the `SIGTERM` signal to cleanly |
|
|
|
|
shutdown a Prometheus instance. If you're running on Linux this can be performed |
|
|
|
|
by using `kill -s SIGTERM <PID>`, replacing `<PID>` with your Prometheus process ID. |

|
abrupt process failure it is recommended to use signals or interrupts for a |
|
|
|
|
clean shutdown of a Prometheus instance. On Linux, this can be done by sending |
|
|
|
|
the `SIGTERM` or `SIGINT` signals to the Prometheus process. For example, you |
|
|
|
|
can use `kill -s <SIGNAL> <PID>`, replacing `<SIGNAL>` with the signal name |
|
|
|
|
and `<PID>` with the Prometheus process ID. Alternatively, you can press the |
|
|
|
|
interrupt character at the controlling terminal, which by default is `^C` (Control-C). |
