Your "targets" under "static_configs" don't include a port number, so they
won't match your regex. Therefore, you can either add :443 to the targets,
or you could do
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: instance
Your second test config will likely create scraping errors as you'll end up
with duplicate metrics all sharing the same label sets with
{instance="foo"}. But if you make your scrape job have a single target, it
ought to work, and I don't know why it doesn't.
Are you using regular prometheus directly, or via some docker / helm
chart? The problem might be with the latter.
