+          Prometheus would attach server-side ("job" and "instance"
+          labels, manually configured target labels, and labels
+          generated by service discovery implementations).
+
+          If honor_labels is set to "true", label conflicts are
+          resolved by keeping label values from the scraped data and
+          ignoring the conflicting server-side labels.
+
+          If honor_labels is set to "false", label conflicts are
+          resolved by renaming conflicting labels in the scraped data
+          to "exported_<original-label>" (for example
+          "exported_instance", "exported_job") and then attaching
+          server-side labels. This is useful for use cases such as
+          federation, where all labels specified in the target should
+          be preserved.
