Yes. The documentation seems to suggest it’s a colon string with an expression. Not necessarily: the string you saw is just the metric name, and you can name your new metrics however you like. However, colons are valid in metric names <https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/data_model/#metric-names-and-labels>, and indeed are "reserved for user defined recording rules" (i.e. regular exporters are not supposed to use them). Using a metric name with colons helps to distinguish synthetic metrics, reduces the risk of name clashes, and may include a potted history of how they were derived, as recommended here: https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/rules/ The actual value of the generated metric is defined by the "expr:" part of the recording rule. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
