Hi. I want to integrate my python application with Prometheus for monitoring. For summary type metric, I have seen that we have quantiles that we can add to the metrics but for python client, I do not see the option to add quantiles to the summary type metric. For Go and Java, it is available.
Am I missing something here or does the python_client does not have the option to add quantiles to the summary metric?

Thanks in advance!

No, the Python client doesn't support quantiles on summaries.

Unless you only have one instance of your application, you want to use a Histogram anyway. Summaries can not be aggregated across servers.
