Hi yosefy, it is currently not possible to do that in grok_exporter, but you can add labels in Prometheus using the static_config in the job configuration. For example, to add the x=y label for each metric from the grok_exporter instance on localhost:9441, put the following in prometheus.yml:

  - job_name: 'grok'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9144']
        labels: { 'x': 'y' }

If you want something more complex (like dynamically rewriting labels depending on their values), check out Prometheus' relabel_config: https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/configuration/#relabel_config

Hope this helps
Fabian.

Hi, I just released v0.2.0, which uses templates for defining labels. With the new version, defining a constant label for grok_exporter should be easily possible like this:

labels:
    x: 'y'

Just released v0.2.1 with even better support for templates. Closing this issue.
