Prometheus - metric has label dimensions inconsistent with previously collected metrics in the same metric family about jtimon HOT 4 OPEN

btw we ran into this with collecting data from devices running different JunOS versions. After all were at the same version again (and a restart of jtimon later), everything was working again (still, not so nice to loose telemetry data in such cases).

The last link leads to this page which says that this limitation was removed in newer versions of prometheus/client_golang.
I actually tried removing the vendored client_golang and build using the latest release which fixes the problem at hand but apparently causes another one. How should we proceed here?

Shat is another issue you are runnign into after upgrading the prometheus package?

Hi @nileshsimaria after upgrading the vendored code the metrics that are considered invalid now are being exposed, however there are other metrics missing from the output that work fine now (for example most gauge values from /components/component/properties/property).

Honestly I haven't looked into it any further to date but it seems to me that debugging the issue with the more recent dependency version is the way to go. Tracking this should propably happen in it's own PR.
