Hi Jason,
Prometheus uses the RE2 regular expression dialect, you can find the
documentation about that here: https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax
The double backslash ("\\") is just to escape the one backslash in the
Prometheus string. So the actual regex is just "5\\d{2}". You can remove
the escaping by using backticks as quotes, which do not interpret escape
sequences: `5\d{2}`
Kind regards,
Julius
