#5691 "Generic Prometheus dashboard widget: pick a target and a template",
step 3 of milestone 508 "Prometheus widget templates".

- /plugins/prometheus/widget draws one target with one template in widget
  shape: the verdict (led by "isn't answering" when the target is down),
  then each block with problems first, figures beside a share bar or the
  last 24h of bars, and the healthy rest folding to "+N more healthy" past
  six. A missing target or template, or one that no longer checks, says so.
- library.py: bundled templates from plugins/prometheus/widgets/*.yaml,
  the picker's target and template lists, and the default title.
- widgets/fabled_archives.yaml: the first bundled template, against the
  series Archives reports (refined in #5693).
- Dashboard: a widget setting may take `options_from` (read when the picker
  opens) with an `empty` sentence; `default_title`; a Details link may name
  settings ("/plugins/prometheus/targets/{target}"). Prometheus is grouped
  with the integrations.

## The dashboard widget
Edit a dashboard, open **Add widget**, and pick **Prometheus** under Integrations. Choose a **target** and a **template**; the widget is named after the template unless you give it a title.
A template says which of the target's series to show and how: backup states, figures with their units, times, a table, the version running. The widget leads with one line naming the worst problem, then each section with its problems first and the healthy rest after. Its **Details** link opens the target's page.
Steward ships with one template, **Fabled Archives**. A target whose series don't match its template says so in the widget rather than showing blanks.
## Alerting on a target
In **Alerts → New rule**, choose **Prometheus targets**, then the series (the resource) and the metric. Two rules worth having for any target:
