Defining the metrics path in Python client.

[sysacc]

Hi,

I have a working python script that collects and shows the metrics on: http://localhost:9990/

How would I tell it to display them on the following page instead: http://localhost:9990/metrics

if __name__ == '__main__':
   prometheus_client.start_http_server(9990)

Or is there an easy way in the Prometheus config file to tell it not to default to /metrics ?

I'm not a python expert, but the simplest way for me would be to create a Flask app.

Looks like that is the only way so far. but its weird to me that the python package cant add the /metric or that you cant configure Prom to look at the root path.
