Prometheus allows you to use the ignoring keyword to exclude specific labels while matching metrics in PromQL queries.
By using ignoring, you can compare or combine metrics that differ only by certain labels such as mode, without considering those specific labels.
This feature is useful when you want to perform operations on metrics with shared labels but differing by certain specific labels.
By applying ignoring(mode), you can ignore the mode label and focus on matching other common labels, enabling you to derive insights from metrics more effectively.
