- What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? - **What** are you trying to achieve? - **How** are you trying to achieve it? - What happened? - What did you **expect** to happen? - Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with? - Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us **exactly** what they were. - Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL? Here are the Screenshots: 1. sum by (method) (http\_request\_duration\_seconds\_count) 2. The last snippet In Lab: Does not work 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. ---

I am assuming you have fixed the Grot academy issue. I was able to finish the GROT Academy training completely a few weeks ago. Thanks. /PP ---

Hi @jamiemoxon , Thanks for tagging here and using our ticketing system. Also appreciate your patience with this. After a recent change in helm chart setup, various steps in our GROT Academy labs were affected and we are working to resolve these issues now. Once updated, we’ll modify the temporary banner on the site to let you know all is well and/or reply back here. Again, we appreciate your willingness to learn more about Grafana Cloud and for communicating the issue. Talk soon, Jazz ---

Hello there, I didn’t want to hijack into this thread but I am also stuck at this Lab, instead of the aggregation its the `up` section at the very beginning. slug and token are provided. When I put the desired query for lgtm containers into the `answer.txt` I receive an error from the GROT Checker that the `container` label was not found. My query is: `up{container=”lgtm”}` which works fine in the exlporer - even if the data is from 2-4 days ago. I am not running a k8s or helm on my own. In the previous k8s labs the cluster was set up there and I figured there will be k8s clusters running in the background for the PromQL labs too. I was curious if this correlates to the issue that OP experienced. Best regards, Kaya
