HI,
We have a Prometheus, saw 400k total series for my metric name from UI report . We saw several labels with a few hundred of values. Several of them such as msIndex is not used, not import. We think that if we drop those labels, we could reduce the total series number a lot.
Can we do PromQL to compare with and without some label, the total series difference?
I tried following, the total number of “without(msIndex)” is higher than no filter, which does not make sense to me. Can someone help me with this?
sum(count without(msIndex) (K_metric_name)[30m])
sum(count(K_metric_name)[30m])
Thanks!
Jeff
