Set the correct Prometheus type automatically

[sjparkinson]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When configuring a Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source we are asked to select the Prometheus type, and when Cortex is selected the relevant version too. Both of these fields seem unnecessary for the scope of this data source.

Describe the solution you'd like

This plugin should use the correct Prometheus type and Cortex version that best matches AMP, without users having to select the details themselves.

Additional context

• I understand AMP is running Cortex
• I am not aware of the version of Cortex being used by AMP

Hi @sjparkinson - thanks for pointing this out. That configuration section appears to be left over from when this plugin was split off from the core Prometheus datasource, and is in fact unnecessary. We'll clean that up. In the mean time, you don't actually have to select anything in those fields, you can just leave the placeholders and it will work just fine.
