    Check if the rule files are valid or not.

Rules #

check rules checks the Prometheus rules, used by the Thanos rule node, if they are valid. The check should be equivalent for the promtool check rules but that cannot be used because Thanos rule has extended rules file syntax, which includes partial_response_strategy field which promtool does not allow.

If the check fails the command fails with exit code 1, otherwise 0.

Example:

$ ./thanos check rules cmd/thanos/testdata/rules-files/*.yaml

usage: thanos check rules <rule-files>...

Check if the rule files are valid or not.
