Returns metric metadata
GET {{baseUrl}}/metadata
It returns metadata about metrics currently scrapped from targets. However, it does not provide any target information. This is considered experimental and might change in the future.
The data section of the query result consists of an object where each key is a metric name and each value is a list of unique metadata objects, as exposed for that metric name across all targets.
