+* `prometheus_retention_time` `(string: "24h")` - Specifies the amount of time that
+  prometheus metrics are retained in memory. It is recommended to also enable the option
+  `disable_hostname` to avoid having prefixed metrics with hostname. Vault does not use the
+  default Prometheus path, so Prometheus must be configured as follows. Note that using
+  ?format=prometheus in the path won't work as ? will be escaped, so it must be specified
+  as a parameter. Addtionally a Vault token is required to access /v1/sys/metrics. The prometheus
+  `bearer_token` or `bearer_token_file` options must be added to the scrape job.
