Add better information about time series and how to avoid generating too many #883

Open na-- opened 2 years ago

With k6 v0.41.0, some scripts that previously worked fine with millions of different time series will no longer be OK (https://github.com/grafana/k6/issues/2765).

We should add more warnings about that in the Metrics and Tags and Groups sections. Maybe polish a little bit the URL grouping section and link it from more places, or move it to its own page? :thinking:

This is probably one of the more important things we should prioritize, since a lot of users keep hitting this issue :disappointed: See https://github.com/grafana/k6/issues/2762, https://github.com/grafana/k6/issues/2836, https://github.com/grafana/k6/issues/2876 (though I don't have a good idea if people on the forum also reported it).

https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/http-requests/#url-grouping should definitely be more prominent and better explained as well. I just noticed that http.url is not even properly linked from that page :disappointed:
