(off-topic): Could the link be fixed to point to: https://www.blockloop.io/smoking-a-turkey-with-prometheus-ho...

Fixed. Thanks!

The submitted URL was correct but, as detaro points out, the canonical URL wasn't, and our software now uses canonical URLs when it finds one.

I have no idea why it has the root URL. I pasted the direct URL but it looks like HN didn't like it. I can't modify the URL unfortunately. If a moderator could update it that would be great.

You can fix your website: the post has a <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.blockloop.io/" /> in it, which tells the HN software that the main URL for your post is your homepage.

Thank you. I deleted that tag for now until I figure out how to set it properly with Jekyll. I'll admit that SEO is not something that I've worked with extensively.

TIL. This is extremely handy.
