Prometheus data writes too many data tags remotely, resulting in high memory usage. I hope to control the tag where the monitoring data is written.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Prometheus remote-write path and its configuration handling; determine how label-to-tag behavior is currently applied. Done means a configuration controls which labels become tags during remote writes and the resulting memory-heavy behavior is addressed.
