How can I retrieve a set of metrics

[mqliang]

I use prometheus to collect monitoring information for kubernetes. And my profiling tool need to retrieve metrics for a set of pod, for example: all "container_cpu_usage_seconds_total" metrics with labels "kubernetes_pod_name=foo" or "kubernetes_pod_name=bar".

Is there anyway I can retrieve all the metrics I need with only one request?

You could use regex:

container_cpu_usage_seconds_total{kubernetes_pod_name=~"(foo|bar).*"}

the =~ selector announces that a regex follows

The second option would be the or operator (allows to get not only the same metric with different labels, but also different metrics all together):

container_cpu_usage_seconds_total{kubernetes_pod_name="foo"} or container_cpu_usage_seconds_total{kubernetes_pod_name="bar"}
