For more information about metrics, see the [telemetry](/docs/agent/telemetry.html)

In order to enable [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) support, you need to use the

If the value is greater than `0s` (the default), this enables [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) export of metrics.
The duration can be expressed using the duration semantics and will aggregates all counters for the duration specified
(it might have an impact on Consul's memory usage).
Fetching the metrics using prometheus can then be performed using the `/v1/agent/metrics?format=prometheus`.
The format is compatible natively with prometheus. When running in this mode, it is recommended to also enable the option
<a href="#telemetry-disable_hostname">`disable_hostname`</a> to avoid having prefixed metrics with hostname.

other metrics. Defaults to false.
