renaming metrics

,pre> scrape_configs: - job_name: sql

 targets: [172.21.132.39:41212]
 metric_relabel_configs:

- source_labels: ['prometheus_metric_name']

   target_label: '__name__'
   regex: '(.*[^_])_*'
   replacement: '${1}'

- regex: prometheus_metric_name

   action: labeldrop

turns this:

query_result_dm_os_performance_counters{
  counter_instance="ex01",
  counter_name="log file(s) size (kb)",
  prometheus_metric_name="sqlserver_databases",
}

into :

sqlserver_databases{
  counter_instance="ex01",
  counter_name="log file(s) size (kb)",
}
