The `replaceSlashInKey` and `replaceDotDashInKey` methods in [`MetricsUtil.java`](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-api/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/metrics/MetricsUtil.java#L95-L101) currently do not handle the `~` (tilde) character, which is indeed not a valid character in Prometheus metric names. This is the same class of bug that was previously fixed in [PR #2462](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/pull/2462), which added sanitization for `/` and `$` characters after they were found to break Prometheus scraping. Regarding your two changes: - **`replaceSlashInKey`** — This is the one you confirmed fixes the issue. It's used directly in the Prometheus format writing logic in `MetricsUtil.writePrometheusFormat()` [[1]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-api/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/metrics/MetricsUtil.java#L103-L185), so adding `~` replacement there would catch tilde characters that slip through. - **`replaceDotDashInKey`** — This method is also called during Prometheus format conversion for gauges, histograms, meters, and timers [[2]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-api/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/metrics/MetricsUtil.java#L107-L163). Adding `~` replacement here as well is a good defensive measure for consistency, even if `replaceSlashInKey` already catches the cases you encountered. It would be great if you could open a PR with this fix — it would be a straightforward and well-scoped contribution. You might also consider making the sanitization more robust by using a regex to replace any character that doesn't match the [Prometheus metric name spec](https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/data_model/#metric-names-and-labels) (`[a-zA-Z_:][a-zA-Z0-9_:]*`), which would prevent similar issues with other unexpected characters in the future. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fhugegraph>).* --- Docs are dead.
