Describe the bug Hello,i am considering is it a bug? With Prometheus,i got a metric named "nginx_connections_accepted_total",not "nginx_connections_accepted". In source code,example dashboard(grafana/dashboard.json),README.md ,it is "nginx_connections_accepted".

To reproduce When i run "curl http://127.0.0.1:9113/metrics",i can get expect result.

# HELP nginx_connections_accepted Accepted client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_accepted counter
nginx_connections_accepted 23
# HELP nginx_connections_active Active client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_active gauge
nginx_connections_active 1
# HELP nginx_connections_handled Handled client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_handled counter
nginx_connections_handled 23
# HELP nginx_connections_reading Connections where NGINX is reading the request header
# TYPE nginx_connections_reading gauge
nginx_connections_reading 0
# HELP nginx_connections_waiting Idle client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_waiting gauge
nginx_connections_waiting 0
# HELP nginx_connections_writing Connections where NGINX is writing the response back to the client

And when i query other metrics,like nginx_connections_handled_total with PromSQL in Grafana ,i can get the right result.

So i think i deployed in right way.

But when i query metric nginx_connections_accepted with PromSQL in Grafana,i can only find a metric named "nginx_connections_accepted_total",instead of "nginx_connections_accepted".

Expected behavior

When i query with PromSQL in Grafana,the metric name is "nginx_connections_accepted".

Hi @T-L-T

Do you have a screenshot? I can't reproduce it, I see nginx_connections_accepted in both Graphana and Prometheus.

Thank you for your attention again,I think i find the reason for that. The "collector" handle that,like "_total","_sum" and so on.

@T-L-T how did you fix it? I am having the same issue.

For me，because of the mimir. Mimir will aggregate the metrics and change the metric name before store them in the prometheus database.
