Single timeseries for a label having different values

[PK]

Hi everyone, Can anyone help me out in this.

I want a single time series for different combinations of label values. Is it possible in Prometheus?

For example

let's say I want to display person name with salary. Here name will be label and salary will be metric value:

metric__person(name:"abc") 40000

metric__person(name:"xyz") 60000

I want them in a single line in the Prometheus graph where on value 40000, it shows the abc and on 60000 it should show xyz.

For this, I am getting like this: (prom example1)

I want like:(prom example2)

That sounds like you are wanting a different type of database to a
timeseries database, and also it isn't looking to be th emonitoring type
use case that Prometheus is designed for.

A time series database would have time as the X axis in a graph, as it
is expected that the value will be varying over time, with labels able
to group together related time series (e.g. different servers running
the same software).
