I built dashboards following the mixtool instructions, got the dashboards uploaded in Grafana and I found myself lost in a sea of "No data". Most dashdoards fall in that category: reads, writes, compactor resources, queries etc, only the object store shows half the graphs working.

Digging one of the queries tells me the issues are with how the queries were implemented:

sum(cluster_namespace_job:cortex_distributor_received_samples:rate5m{cluster=~"$cluster", job=~"($namespace)/(distributor|cortex$)"})

The metric above has different labels out of Prometheus, there is no way it would work out of the box:

cluster_namespace_job:cortex_distributor_received_samples:rate5m{job="cortex-distributor", namespace="cortex"}

More or less, same is true for all other "No data" charts, it looks like each needs to be changed to make it work.

I instaled Cortex from the latest version of your Helm chart (ver 0.6.0 at the time) and it does get the latest cortex image deployed, so the metric labels should be up to date.

Before I take on the monumental task of fixing these charts I wanted to ask, is there something I missed ? My expectation was, by havind the latest cortex deployed from the latest Helm chart, that most if not all of the dashboards provided would come with queries matching the metrics exposed.
