Need help with GROT Academy Lab Section PromQL. Currently Stuck

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

    • Grafana Cloud, Windows 11 (Using Brave Browser)
  • What are you trying to achieve?

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

    • Maybe something needs to be fixed on the Tutorial Lab side?
  • What happened?

    • The queries work using Grafana Cloud Explorer, but in the Lab answer.txt, they don’t.
    • There is also a typo in your tutorial: “requests” should be “request”. Was this intended?
    • Also, on the last query snippet, it should be “{“ instead of “(“.
  • What did you expect to happen?

    • Everything should proceed smoothly since it worked in Grafana Cloud Explorer using Metrics Browser (Code).
  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

    • This is another issue. I can’t seem to copy and paste the code snippets.
  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.

    • I have some screenshots with the >_Grot Checker query results. Other than that no other weird errors popped up.
  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?

    • Just the tutorial at GROT Academy. I also looked at the relevant documentation regarding PromQL labels and metrics.

Here are the Screenshots:

  1. sum by (method) (http_request_duration_seconds_count)

    In Lab: Does not Work

    In Grafana Explorer, Browser Metrics (Code): It Works

  2. The last snippet
    In Lab: Does not work

    In Grafana Explorer, Browser Metrics (code): It Works

I couldn’t find any Newbie Section or GROT Academy-specific category here. I apologize if this topic was posted in the wrong category, but Grafana + Prometheus makes sense.

Help please, thank you!

I got stuck on the exact same place 3 weeks ago, exactly the same problem. I’m looking forward to any tips or solutions for this specific roadblock.

Thank you.
