Hi, Im using the built-in metric server pushing data to a InfluxDB2. Everything works perfectly, I create several dynamic Dashboards(Grafana) for different needs. But I run in some problems when I analyze the data, I found that I have a lack of information about the metric server itself, things like how is the schema defined? there is a config file somewhere where I can change configs about it(dont think so, but there is no harm asking for it)? One thing for example is that I use tags on the VMs, then in the dashboards I use variables to get those tags and build the dashboard. But if I need to make an alarm, and need to filter using this tags(you cannot use variables in alarms) is very dificult, computing expensive or even imposible to do because of the schema that is created. Maybe if I got a full schema of the metric server I can find another way to do it. Is there a doc whit this info? Another thing, how is this metrics scraped, can I add another data to the scraping tool/process?

TY in advance

Second that, some things seem obvious, some not. Maybe the source code?
