# To test through prometheus:
$ docker run --rm -it -p 9090:9090 -v $PWD/examples/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --network host prom/prometheus

Then head over to http://localhost:9090/graph?g0.range_input=1h&g0.expr=example_value_active&g0.tab=1 or http://localhost:9090/targets to check the scraped metrics or the targets.
