--protection <boolean> (default = 0)
Sets the protection flag of the VM. This will disable the remove VM and remove disk operations.

How are you getting the stats into Prometheus?

There's no standard way to export PVE metrics into prometheus. PVE supports Graphite and InfluxDB. That's why I asked. Don't be an ass.
If you want to implement it yourself, a node exporter textfile written by a simple bash script should do.

I used pve exporter prometheus then into grafana

This exporter does not appear to export such settings. What you can do is to write a simple script like this that you can then call every minute or so

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

pct list | awk '/[0-9]/ {print $1}' | while read -r ct; do
  (pct config "${ct}" | grep -q "protection: 1") && echo "pve_protection_{id=\"lxc/${ct}\"} 1" || echo "pve_protection_{id=\"lxc/${ct}\"} 0"
done

qm list | awk '/[0-9]/ {print $1}' | while read -r vm; do
  (qm config "${vm}" | grep -q "protection: 1") && echo "pve_protection_{id=\"qemu/${vm}\"} 1" || echo "pve_protection_{id=\"qemu/${vm}\"} 0"
done

No, it's not pretty, but it should do. It gives output like this

pve_protection{id="lxc/101"} 0
pve_protection{id="qemu/100"} 1

You can write its output into a .prom file the textfile collector can then read.

* * * * * bash /path/to/script.sh | sponge /path/to/textfiledir/pveprotection.prom

Install moreutils to get sponge. Test, extend and modify as needed. It's just an example.

in this exporter need to add something so that it collects the parameter data and compile it again.
