Re: Returning label value for a Prometheus Query

[Matthias Rampke]

In general, the dashboard should allow using just a specific label,
for example in Grafana, use

{{name}}

as the Legend format.

To "remove" one or more labels in a query, you need to aggregate over
them as appropriate, see

https://prometheus.io/docs/querying/operators/#aggregation-operators

for the options.

Finally, you can use metric relabelling to remove or manipulate labels
at collection time:
https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/configuration/#<metric_relabel_config>
but this should not be necessary if you want what I think you want.
