i have just upgraded my netdata agent from 1.36.0 to 1.38.1 and i notice some big change on prometheus collector behavior, so we loss prometheus grouping graph (usefull for analysis) and alarm’s. Is it possible to have same behavior than before in the new version of prometheus collector ?
example :

HELP com_siemens_polarion_license_current com_siemens_polarion_license_current

Hi, @t.gar. No, it is not possible to revert the changes/have the same behavior as before.

  • You can have ~ the same chart if using Cloud UI and change “group_by” of the chart to “statistics_name”.
  • Yes, alarms need to be rewritten. But in many cases, it was not possible to apply an alarm with the old grouping at all.
