Hi Vance. Sorry for the delay.

It seems you are using a metrics.yaml file from 1.5.0 dev with an exporter 1.4.2.
Please fall back to the metrics.yaml file from 1.4.2 (e.g. https://github.com/zhmcclient/zhmc-prometheus-exporter/blob/stable_1.4/examples/metrics.yaml).

Let me know if that helps.

It would also be good probably to reduce the severity of the error to a warning so that the exporter would continue, and maybe to add a hint about the file version.

[andy-maier]

I have PRs up that change the error into a warning that is displayed, and then the exporter continues.

Thanks @andy-maier - I just switched the yaml to the correct version and it's working well now.
