Labeling strategies to reduce cardinality LP - #452
Conversation
When many teams send telemetry and the bill payer can't control every client, policy belongs at an admin-owned gateway collector tier managed centrally with Fleet Management. Adds this guidance to the metrics milestone and cross-references it from the logs milestone.

This looks really useful (and I know we need this course!).

Thanks for the PR. I smoke-tested the interactive milestones on learn.grafana.net shared in Block Editor, and those two steps worked.
This package is mostly conceptual content with only two Pathfinder-interactive milestones. That shape fits a Learning Hub journey, not an action-oriented Pathfinder path. Please keep the hands-on pieces as focused Pathfinder packages (along the lines of #484) and keep the broader labeling-strategy narrative in the website journey instead of merging this full path package.
I left a note on the path manifest. Please do not merge this PR in its current form.

Most of this path is conceptual prose (understand cardinality, metrics/logs strategy, correlate signals). Only two milestones are hands-on in Pathfinder. We want Pathfinder packages to stay action-oriented. The conceptual journey you built belongs on the Learning Hub website side (same split as in #484 with the explore/reduce packages). Please do not merge this as a full Pathfinder learning path.
Adds a new learning path teaching a deliberate labeling strategy to
control cardinality and cost for metrics and logs in Grafana Cloud.
Milestones
multiply; includes 4 new SVG diagrams
Management and Billing and read the summary stats and both cardinality tables
prevention at the source with relabeling
recommendations for existing cardinality
the label/metadata/log-line decision framework
carry high cardinality detail on logs as structured metadata
Notes for reviewers
validate --packages).the CMB Cardinality tab test id and the Adaptive Metrics nav links.
cardinality retention, New/Unused badges,
grafana-cmab-app.cardinality:readpermission, 95th-percentile billing, 20-minute active-series window, and
Adaptive Metrics compatibility guarantees.
