Not sure I understand completely, but I'll try:
If you are looking for a way to get the status of multiple jobs into
Prometheus in a dynamic way (i.e. rows), then this should be possible. I
assume you are looking for labels.
You could create output such as:
job_status{job_name="a"}
(If possible, it might make sense to choose another word than "job" as
this is a term which is already used in Prometheus in the form of
"scrape jobs").
If you are looking for a way to get multiple datapoints for the same job
(i.e. columns) into Prometheus, then this will get harder. Prometheus is
designed to scrape exactly one data point per metric per scrape.
Everything else would be considered backfilling, which is not yet ready
for use for regular users, as far as I understand).
Kind regards,
Christian
