Elaboration:

Thank you for providing detail on the issue you're experiencing with the Cloud Monitoring PromQL in Grafana. In order to better understand and investigate this issue, could you please provide the following additional information?

Screenshots: A visual can often be very helpful. Could you provide a screenshot of where the 'Alias By' box is expected to appear, and how it looks with the builder option for comparison?
Configuration Details: Although you have provided the version of Grafana you're using, it might be helpful to know more about your Cloud Monitoring datasource configuration. Are there specific settings you've adjusted that could be related to this?
Error Messages: Are there any error messages in the Grafana interface, or logs that may give a clue as to why the 'Alias By' box is not showing up?
Previous Functionality: You mentioned that this is 'N/A' for 'Did this work before?'. Does this mean this is the first time you've tried to use the 'Alias By' functionality with PromQL or that it has never worked in any previous versions you've tried?
Steps to Reproduce: Your reproduction steps are clear. However, if there are any additional steps or nuances such as specific queries you're running, please share those as well.

Providing this information will greatly assist in diagnosing the problem more efficiently. Looking forward to your response!

Hello @moxious, it seems like this issue is related to the AWS Datasources project, as it pertains to cloud monitoring which is closely related to datasources of cloud providers, even though GCP is not AWS. However, if the GCP Cloud monitoring datasource is managed under a specific project such as the Grafana Plugins Platform, please consider that project instead. Could you please confirm the exact nature of the datasource you're referring to so that the appropriate team can assist you?
