## Querying target metadata
The following endpoint returns metadata about metrics currently scraped from targets.
The endpoint has the limitation that only metadata scraped from targets directly is returned, metadata sent over Remote-Write or OTLP to Prometheus is not included in this endpoint and will not show up on the UI in "Explore Metrics".
This is **experimental** and might change in the future.
