  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    I have Grafana and Prometheus installed as well as some jobs set up, server stats and other node exporters like mastodon or synapse are working.

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
    No error messages or similar
    I can’t find the metric names given in the dashboard even using the explore function

  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
    Install Grafana on Debian or Ubuntu | Grafana documentation

Hey, that means mostly probably you dont have the prometheus_.* metrics in your prometheus server.

Do a recheck on the scrape configs in your prometheus server if it there’s a job to scrape itself or not.

I don’t understand, how can that be done?

You need add a new scrape job :

scrape_configs:
  # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
  - job_name: "prometheus"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:9090"]

And its explained better here : Getting Started with Prometheus | Prometheus

so i have to create a separate scrape job for prometheus itself too
thought prometheus would do that automatically
