Questions about Gauge labels

[1138559250]

I'm a newbie with Prometheus_client.
I would like to ask if it is possible to customize the label.
The example is as follows
metrics_one = prometheus_client.Gauge("mysql_data", "mysql_data", ["label1", "label2", "label3", "label4", "label5", "label6"])
metrics_two = prometheus_client.Gauge("mysql_data", "mysql_data", ["label1", "label2", ])
metrics_three = prometheus_client.Gauge("mysql_data", "mysql_data", ["label1", "label3", ])
metrics_four = prometheus_client.Gauge("mysql_data", "mysql_data", ["label1", "label2", "label4" ])

But I have a lot of labels, I only need to use a few of them when I insert data，
Do I have to write all the metrics like this? Is there another way to do it?
And in the end, I finally hope to use flask to respond to the latest data of all labels of metrics.
@app.route('/metrics')
def metrics():
set_data_to_prometheus()
return Response(prometheus_client.generate_latest(metrics), mimetype="text/plain")

If so, I can only pass out the data of one metric.
Looking forward for your reply, thank you

Hello,

You could probably define all of the labels on only one metric, and then set them to "" for cases where that label name does not have a value. In Prometheus an empty string is the same as a label not existing. Do you have a bit more of a concrete example for what the different labels would be? I could help point you in the proper direction if so, having a lot of empty labels on the same metric is not a pattern commonly seen.
