How do I write an "or" logical operator on Prometheus or Grafana

Question

I need to write a query that use any of the different jobs I define.

{job="traefik" OR job="cadvisor" OR job="prometheus"}

Is it possible to write logical binary operators?

Prometheus has an or logical binary operator, but what you're asking about here is vector selectors.

You can use a regex for this {job=~"traefik|cadvisor|prometheus"}, however that you want to do this is a smell.

Okey really thanks!! it works for me, I don't think it is a smell, its only for the templating variable (not for grafana graphics) – Asier Gomez Mar 31 '17 at 08:01

why would an or operation be a smell? seems like something that would be very practical – mike01010 May 14 '23 at 07:29
