Breaking changes

The default HTTP method for Prometheus data source is now POST. Previously, it was GET. The POST APIs have been available since January 2018 (Prometheus 2.1.0) and they have fewer limitations than the GET APIs. For example, when dealing with high cardinality labels, GET hits the URL size limit.

If you have a Prometheus instance with version < 2.1.0, which uses the default HTTP method, update your HTTP method to GET. Issue #34599
