Hello In https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/writing_clientlibs/ under the section "Labels" it says
"Client libraries MUST NOT under any circumstances allow users to have different label names for the same metric for Gauge/Counter/Summary/Histogram or any other Collector offered by the library." Does anyone know the background behind this rule? My understanding is that Prometheus' data model is that a metrics is uniquely identified by metric name and set of labels, so technically it should be possible to have metrics that has the same name but different set of label names. Is the rule to enforce best practice? Cheers, Alvin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
