Prometheus
Use the Prometheus block to display a time series from a remote Prometheus server.

The server address can be configured in two ways
- From the block settings
- From the Atuin Desktop settings
This allows you to set a default endpoint, and then override it per-chart.
Block Output
Prometheus blocks produce structured output that can be accessed in templates after execution. See Block Output for general information on accessing block output.
Accessing Metrics Data
{%- set output = doc.named['my_prometheus_query'].output %}
{# Access series data #}
{% for series in output.series %}
{{ series.name }}: {{ series.data | length }} data points
{% endfor %}
