How to expose all Prometheus metrics?

I’ve set up my IPFS-cluster daemon to expose metrics on port 8888, in service.json like so:

...
  "observations": {
    "metrics": {
      "enable_stats": true,
      "prometheus_endpoint": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8888",
      "reporting_interval": "2s"
    },
    "tracing": {
      "enable_tracing": false,
      "jaeger_agent_endpoint": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/udp/6831",
      "sampling_prob": "0.3",
      "service_name": "cluster-daemon"
    }
},

I can query localhost:8888/metrics and get back a list of metrics:

The docs seem to imply that there will be more metrics than the standard go_ and process_ series, like cluster_gorpc_libp2p_io_server_server_latency_bucket - but they don’t seem to be available. Do I need to do something in the configuration to make these available for Prometheus?

Hmm, this is a bug.

Basically, the of the 4 existing metrics, only the Pins and Alerts ones are being ever written (recorded), and only when a pin is successfully pinned on IPFS. The result is that you see no metrics. I’d be grateful if you can open an issue on the repository to track this.
