Hi Tejaswini, I'm not familiar with the exact metrics that Envoy exposes, but it just sounds like they are just not really following the conventions from https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/naming/ correctly for all metrics and not outputting HELP string lines. Now since those are only conventions and optional features, this should not create a problem other than you having a bit of a harder time interpreting and dealing with those metrics. Prometheus-compatible vendors should be able to handle those just fine, otherwise they are not compatible.
