@rlanore the filterprocessor already handles metric names with colons as it is doing a string lookup. Make sure the metrics you want to keep have the extact name namespace_cpu:kube_pod_container_resource_limits:sum. You can use a debugexporter with verbosity: detailed to view the data as the filterprocessor will see it.

Hi @TylerHelmuth ,
when remove filter processors i can get value from curl prometheus server

[rlanore]

hummm ok I did not understood use of colon into promql. It's not the name of metrics but a recording rule computed at prometheus level. So with only 'kube_pod_container_resource_limits' in the include statement and the recording rule this works.
Sorry
