This blog details how to visualize a prometheus histogram in grafana: How to visualize Prometheus histograms in Grafana | Grafana Labs
That works to a certain extent, however the bar gauge really seems to be meant for categorical data.
For a histogram, you’d expect the labels to be on the edges of bars. It should also be possible to modify the x-axis unit. if i make a histogram for http_request_duration_seconds_bucket, I want to be able to represent that as milliseconds in grafana, while sticking to the prometheus guidelines of using base units.
The histogram chart has the looks and customization like i want it, but i can’t get that to work with prometheus histogram data, would that be possible?
