Description
At the moment, if at least one of the columns specified in
key_labels
containsNULL
in a row, the query will return the error and the metrics won't be published (for a single target). It's by design ofdatabase/sql
- NULL is not an empty string, so it cannot be converted to a string out of the box.We actually want to support NULL values for metric labels (strings). If a row contains NULL in a column that's defined in
key_labels
, we return its value as an empty string. In addition we create a log (under debug log level) message, that the column value is NULL for a particular row.Example

Metric configuration:
