Hi,

when i try to use the adapter without TimescaleDB, it demands it anyway.

postgres@somehost:/data/prometheus-postgresql-adapter-0.2$ ./prometheus-postgresql-adapter -pg.database prometheusdb -pg.user prometheus -pg.use-timescaledb false
level=info ts=2018-06-27T08:43:58.53972208Z caller=client.go:80 msg="host=localhost port=5432 user=prometheus dbname=prometheusdb password='' sslmode=disable connect_timeout=10"

It seems the package needs to be installed anyway?

Hi @aliensmily ,
You should supply boolean arguments like -arg=true/false, so -pg.use-timescaledb=false
