[15:36:27] <ottomata>	 godog: what's up with grouping keys and push gateway?
[15:36:43] <ottomata>	 joal pointed me at https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/issues/65 and said I'd have a problem if i didn't use them
[15:36:55] <ottomata>	 but, as far as I can tell, my metrics with different label values look okay
[15:41:32] <godog>	 ottomata: I'd need more context, what are you trying to do and what's the problem ?
[15:52:58] <ottomata>	 godog: i think there is not a problem
[15:52:59] <ottomata>	 hm
[15:53:02] <ottomata>	 q
[15:53:11] <ottomata>	 are all labels including in the 'grouping key' by default?
[15:53:38] <ottomata>	 joseph was worried that unless i set a grouping key, metrics with different label values would overwrite each other
[15:54:02] <godog>	 my understanding is that depends on the method used (reading from the docs)
[15:54:21] <godog>	 which grouping key is used that is
[15:54:42] <ottomata>	 hm
[15:54:52] <ottomata>	 we are using the java client
[15:54:56] <ottomata>	 https://prometheus.github.io/client_java/io/prometheus/client/exporter/PushGateway.html
[15:55:08] <ottomata>	 i'm calling
[15:55:08] <ottomata>	 	pushAdd​(Collector collector, String job)
[15:55:23] <ottomata>	 and, from mwhat I can tell my metrics with differnet label values are all pushed correctly
[15:57:26] <godog>	 mmhh yeah my reading is that the only grouping key would be 'job'
[15:59:01] <godog>	 ottomata: in other words I think the 'job' label would be overwritten if you were to push metrics with a 'job' label different than the grouping key
[15:59:06] <godog>	 i.e. 'job' in this case
[16:00:12] <godog>	 so say your grouping key is job=good, the metrics within that push with e.g. job=bad would show up with job=good instead
[16:00:33] <godog>	 that's my understanding at least, I might be wrong
[16:17:36] <ottomata>	 hm
[16:17:37] <ottomata>	 okay.
[16:17:56] <ottomata>	 but if there are other labels too?
[16:18:06] <ottomata>	 so, i'm only testing one job right now
[16:18:17] <ottomata>	 does that mean if there are different jobs running that are all pushing
[16:18:29] <ottomata>	 that's when it would break?
[16:18:36] <ottomata>	 even if the label values are all distinct?
[16:19:09] <godog>	 my understanding is that job=verygood would be distinct grouping key
[16:19:18] <godog>	 I don't see how it'd be any useful otherwise
[16:20:43] <godog>	 the easiest I think is to test with multiple jobs and other labels
[16:25:50] <godog>	 ottomata: gotta go, we can followup here and/or on phab
[16:26:30] <ottomata>	 yeah ok will try with other jobs
[16:26:33] <ottomata>	 thanks godog
