Prometheus Configuration: Unifying Job Settings in prometheus.yml

In the configuration of your Prometheus server, you’ve defined multiple jobs such as ‘alpha’, ‘beta’, etc., each with its targets and specific relabel configurations for extracting relevant labels like slugs from addresses. However, if these job settings are repetitive across all 20+ jobs in terms of metrics path (/metrics), scheme (‘https’), and even the relabel_configs, you’ve identified a common ground to simplify your configuration by avoiding redundancy for each individual job setup:

# Prometheus Configuration Template with Default Job Settings
apiVersion: 0.16
global:
  scrape_interval:     15s   # Set the default interval at which targets are scraped (optional)
rule_files:          ["rules.yml"]        
...   
scrape_configs:
- job_name: unitedjod           # Unified and generic 'job' name 
  scheme: https                   # Common HTTPS configuration for all jobs
  metrics_path: /metrics             # Shared path to scrape target metrics from (optional)
  static_configs:               
    - targets:              
        - one.example         
        - two.example        
      labels:               
        target_type: alpha     # Label differentiating job types when needed, like 'alpha' or 'beta'
  
  relabel_configs:                      
    - source_labels: [__address__]              
      regex: "(.*).example"            
      replacement: "${1}"             
      target_label: "slug"            # Common label to apply for all jobs, such as derived 'slugs' from addresses. 
    
# (The rest of your scrape configurations should follow this template)  

This single unitedjod job encomp0sively replaces the individual ones with identical settings and additional logic using labels to differentiate when necessary, thus reducing redundancy significantly while maintaining all required unique aspects for each target.
