The standard way to get data for a panel from Prometheus is the "range query" - this is sampled at a fixed rate, e.g. every 1 minute.
But the underlying data may be more or less frequent, or even quite irregular.
It is possible in Grafana to see the underlying data - for a 1-hour range query on
foo
you change the option from "range" to "instant" and change the query tofoo[1h]
. Now you will get points displayed with their real timestamps, not sampled.This two-step process is a bit advanced for many users, however. I would like Grafana Explore to have a "view underlying data" button built in which achieves the same effect.
It wouldn't work for more advanced cases - a join, for instance, can only work when the timestamps line up. This is a good reason why range queries always sample.
