Hi support

We experience weird behavior on our prometheus scraper for *counter metrics.*
There appear to be sudden spikes (which we don't see on Prometheus).

In attachment you can see the exact same query from SigNoz compared to Prometheus:
any guidance on whether this is normal or not? How can we resolve this and get the same results?

Please share the full query used in both.

just a simple `sum(problem_total{customer='xyz'}) by (customer)`

is there a guideline for fetching prometheus metrics with otel? per default the pod labels are not honored for example

```      prometheus:
        use_start_time_metric: true
        config:
          scrape_configs:
            - job_name: "prometheus-staging"
              scrape_interval: 10s
              static_configs:
                - targets:```
this is what we scrape with now
