When provisioning a Prometheus data source, like in this example from the official docs, I would like to disable metrics lookup, but there is no documentation about how to provide that setting in the payload.

This should be documented here , but is not. The option is a boolean called disableMetricsLookup, and it should go inside the jsonData: { "jsonData": { "disableMetricsLookup": true, ... }, ... }

Set disableMetricLookup when provisioning data source
