  • How are you trying to achieve it?

Trying to pull the data from Prometheus push server into Grafana

  • What happened?

I am unable to select data from Prometheus. It seems as if there are maybe too many entries for Prometheus UI to handle or such… When I press the insert metric at cursor dropdown, the UI freezes for about 10 seconds. After that, I see hundreds of entries to select, one for each data point.

  • What did you expect to happen?

I am totally new to Prometheus/Grafana. I would like to visualize performance of my web app. For this, my client app [cypress test suite] collects response timings for all network requests, as well as some other parameters, for example, the content type. All that is being pushed to the Prometheus server.

Please advise

have you already configured and tested the prometheus data source plugin for grafana? Can you screenshot what you are seeing?
