You can ask Prometheus about metadata where you can find “help” for each metric: https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#querying-metric-metadata

Thank you. I am checking with Prometheus community

Sorry, I meant that you can send a request to the Prometheus API to get metadata. There is a field named “help” where you find some information about metrics.

Could you try to add /api/v1/metadata to your Prometheus endpoint.
