<p>I'm tryin to deploy an nginx prometheus exporter (<a href="https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-prometheus-exporter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-prometheus-exporter</a>) in a kubernetes cluster but if I use param &quot;-nginx.scrape-uri&quot; in the args tag it fails. If I remove it then it works but use default values &quot;127.0.0.1:8080&quot;</p>
<p>How should I pass this parameter?</p>
<p>Here my deployment.yaml</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: apps/v1
