Description Andrew Pickering 2020-09-09 04:33:42 UTC 
The dropdown of available metrics on the query browser page shows a generic message when it fails to fetch the metrics from the Prometheus API.

A common reason for the API call failing is that the user does not have access to the API. In this case, it would be more helpful to show a message saying that.
