Prometheus Cardinality Troubleshooter
Diagnostic guide for active Prometheus cardinality problems — slow queries, OOMing Prometheus, high Grafana Cloud Active Series or DPM bills, "too many samples" ingest errors, series churn, or rapid memory growth. Walks through tsdb status endpoints, per-metric and per-label drill-downs, common-culprit galleries, and remediation paths. Use when the user is *currently experiencing* a cardinality fire. For preventing cardinality issues at the source, route to prometheus-label-strategy. For post-ingest aggregation, route to adaptive-metrics. For DPM-specific analysis, route to dpm-finder.
