+Similar to query endpoint, for metadata endpoints `/api/v1/series`, `/api/v1/labels`, `/api/v1/label/<name>/values` the proxy injects the specified label in the `match` selector. 
 
 NOTE: At the moment of creation `/api/v1/labels`, `/api/v1/label/<name>/values` does not support `match[]` so they are disabled by default. Use `-enable-label-apis` flag to enable 
 those (see https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/6178 for tracking development).
