How to extract label values from Prometheus metrics in Grafana
Blog post from Grafana Labs
Prometheus metrics, often visualized in Grafana, can sometimes require a shift in focus from numerical values to the labels themselves, which contain valuable information. This guide outlines how to extract and visualize Prometheus label values using Grafana's dashboard capabilities. By setting up a Prometheus data source and selecting appropriate metrics, users can create a table visualization rather than a standard graph to better display categorical label data. The process involves using PromQL queries to filter and customize the data display, removing unnecessary fields like time and value, and utilizing data transforms to further refine the information shown. This method allows for greater insights into specific metrics, such as identifying software versions, and can be adapted to various Prometheus metrics for enhanced data analysis and visualization.
