🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Fix the native histogram version and migration guidance.
The paragraph has two problems:
- The version is wrong. The text says
scrape_native_histograms: trueis the switch "From 3.9". The Prometheus spec says starting with v3.8.0, native histograms are supported as a stable feature. However, scraping native histograms still has to be activated explicitly via the scrape_native_histograms configuration setting. The only change in 3.9 is that the feature flag is a true no-op and explicitly setting scrape_native_histograms is required. - The migration advice can break dashboards. The text says client libraries can expose both versions during a migration. It does not say that Prometheus then drops the classic version. If scrape_native_histograms is true (default in v4+), Prometheus will prefer the native histogram parts over the classic histogram parts, even if both are exposed for the same histogram. A reader who follows the guide as written loses the
_bucketseries. The guide's ownhistogram_quantile(... _bucket ...)queries then return no data. Kubernetes docs say to always set always_scrape_classic_histograms: true during migration.
📝 Proposed wording fix
- They arrived as an experimental feature in Prometheus 2.40 and are stable from 3.8. From 3.9 you turn on scraping them with the <code>scrape_native_histograms: true</code> setting. The classic text format cannot carry them, so the target must serve the protobuf exposition format. Client libraries can expose a classic and a native version of the same histogram during a migration.
+ They arrived as an experimental feature in Prometheus 2.40 and are stable from 3.8. Turn on scraping them with the <code>scrape_native_histograms: true</code> setting; from 3.9 the old feature flag does nothing. The classic text format cannot carry them, so the target must serve the protobuf exposition format. Client libraries can expose a classic and a native version of the same histogram during a migration. Prometheus prefers the native version when both exist, so also set <code>always_scrape_classic_histograms: true</code> until your <code>_bucket</code> queries are migrated.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Shorter, grouped into five sections, with diagrams for the metric line, the pull model, the four types and histogram buckets. Client code in six languages, a Docker Compose setup for Prometheus and Grafana, and screenshots of scraping into Maple. Adds a small highlighter for guide code blocks.

- Line 552: Update the introductory sentence near the examples to replace the
inaccurate “official client library” claim with neutral “Prometheus client
library” wording, while preserving the remainder of the sentence unchanged.
