Björn Rabenstein e9bcee30fa Improve documentation for the Prometheus data source (#21415)
Besides minor language corrections, this tries in particular to
provide some clarity about the `step` setting in the Prometheus range
query and the `$__interval` variable:

- First of all: They are both always the same.

- What's really confusing (and arguably really un-helpful) is that the
  _Min time interval_ is multiplied by the resolution
  factor. Therefore, I just state the fact here now but don't add
  anything like "This should be the scrape interval" because it is not
  true (if resolution is `1/10`, a meaningful _Min time interval_ is
  generally a tenth of the scrape interval).

- More helpful is the _Min step_ parameter, because it is not
  multiplied by the resolution factor (which I have now stated
  explicitly). Of course, the _Min time interval_ has to be set to
  something small so that the _Min step_ parameter can kick in.

It would be good if we could also override the _Min time interval_
tool tip because that is where most people will look, and the current,
very Graphite-centric tool tip is very confusing for the Prometheus
query editor, in particular because it doesn't have any hint about the
resolution factor being applied. See #21413.

Grafana allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture:

  • Visualize: Fast and flexible client side graphs with a multitude of options. Panel plugins for many different way to visualize metrics and logs.
  • Dynamic Dashboards: Create dynamic & reusable dashboards with template variables that appear as dropdowns at the top of the dashboard.
  • Explore Metrics: Explore your data through ad-hoc queries and dynamic drilldown. Split view and compare different time ranges, queries and data sources side by side.
  • Explore Logs: Experience the magic of switching from metrics to logs with preserved label filters. Quickly search through all your logs or streaming them live.
  • Alerting: Visually define alert rules for your most important metrics. Grafana will continuously evaluate and send notifications to systems like Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps, OpsGenie.
  • Mixed Data Sources: Mix different data sources in the same graph! You can specify a data source on a per-query basis. This works for even custom datasources.
