title: Where does Prometheus store metrics data (in container)?
body: <p>I am searching for the <code>./data</code> folder described in <a href="https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#on-disk-layout" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Storage section pf Prometheus Documentation</a>.
  I run a basic Prometheus Docker container <code>prom/prometheus</code> on Kubernetes. If I execute a shell inside the container, the working directory is <code>/prometheus</code> and it contains the <code>wal</code> directory, but it does not have the structure mentioned in the documentation and I can not find any metric data.</p>
  
  <p>Where are the metrics stored which I can query over Prometheus GUI?</p>
