Delete Metrics From PushGateway

[Alan Tam CA]

Hello,

The PushGateway docs state the following:

Delete all metrics in the group identified by {job="some_job"} (note that this does not include metrics in the {job="some_job",instance="some_instance"} group from the previous example, even if those metrics have the same job label):

•   curl -X DELETE http://pushgateway.example.org:9091/metrics/job/some_job

I am wondering if there is a way to match all values of the instance label using regex in the URL. So something like

•   curl -X DELETE http://pushgateway.example.org:9091/metrics/job/some_job/instance/~".+"

Note: Prometheus has this feature to match all values of a label using ~".+". For instance: 

curl -X POST -g 'http://prometheus.example.org:9090/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series?match[]={__name__=~".+"}'

No, that's not possible.

The Pushgateway isn't really a database (like Prometheus itself), so
it doesn't have any fancy matching.
