Regex parse issue

[dguihal]

Describe the bug

Parse error in regex

example:

node_uname_info{nodename=~"(?i:(test)(\.[a-z0-9.]+)?)"}

ERROR: 422, error when executing query="node_uname_info{nodename=~"(?i:(test)(\.[a-z0-9.]+)?)"}" on the time range (start=1743682803612, end=1743684603612, step=3000): cannot expand WITH expressions: cannot parse string literal ""(?i:(test)(\.[a-z0-9.]+)?)"": invalid syntax

this come from an issue I met using the Kubernetes / Views / Nodes dashboard provided with vm-k8s stack (which come from kubernetes mixins)

The regex is valid according to regex101

To Reproduce

Try above request in VM query ui or load Kubernetes / Views / Nodes dashboard in grafana using VM as prometheus datasource (https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/15759-kubernetes-views-nodes/)

Unfortunatly I don't have a standard prometheus to compare behavior

Additional information

The issue seems around the \. escaping.

For promql/metricsql requests \. should be double escaped: \\. Looks like a bug with dashboard.

@AndrewChubatiuk @zekker6 @f41gh7 do I understand it right that the issue is in the external Grafana expression that is out of our control and it already has a PR that fixes it?

[hagen1778]

Seems to be resolved in dotdc/grafana-dashboards-kubernetes#142. Closing as done.
