The metrics are not loading up on the dashboard

Describe the bug

I was able to successfully deploy the exporter, and on checking the logs I am able to see that the metrics are being scraped by the rds-exporter

However, the metrics are not visible on the dashboard. Could you please help with the troubleshooting steps?

• OS: AWS EKS

Hi, to make metrics visible in this dashboard, you need to select all filters like

Datasource, AWS account, Region, Instance

If the filters aren't available check if a random metric (like rds_allocated_storage_bytes) is visible in the prometheus UI. If it's not the case, something my be wrong and prometheus might not be scrapping your exporter.

The other options like AWS account, Region, Instance are not loading up. Does prometheus and the exporter have to be in the same namespace?

Actually, the scrape.yml was not configured with the new target. I can see the metrics now, thank you :)
