As noted in #216, adding relabel_configs for
status
ormethod
(own testing) withonly_counter
would cause a panic.The issue was, that the
Collection
struct (and thus histograms) were set-up without deduplicating the labels first (or at least applying thecounterOnly
property to theDefaultRelabelings
), thus the histograms were initialised with thecounterOnly
labels.I have opted against doing some sort of merging the defaults with user configuration. In part this is due to my absolute lack of knowledge of golang, but primarily since I didn't know how to differentiate user not setting values, e.g. whitelist, (=> apply defaults) or the user actively setting the defaults to revert back to them (=> do not apply defaults).
Resolve #216
