How to set a label in Service monitor so it appears in Prometheus metrics?

I want to set targetLabels in Service monitor like key value map so it appears in the Prometheus metrics. I tried with relabeling in service monitor but it didnt work.

apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
  name: example-application
  labels:
    team: backend-team
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: example-application
  endpoints:
  - port: backend
    relabelings:
    - sourceLabels: [__name__]
      regex: (.*)
      targetLabel: teamname
      replacement: "backend-team"
      action: replace

I also found there is targetLabels.But not sure how to use it. TargetLabels transfers labels on the Kubernetes Service onto the target.

I also read there is whitelisting labels possible in service monitor. Please let me know how to do this and which method would be correct option..

In Servicemonitor spec,we need to add targetlabels in order to propagate the service labels to Prometheus.

Example service with "teamname" label:

kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: example-application
  labels:
    app: example-application
    teamname: neon
spec:
  selector:
    app: example-application
  ports:
  - name: backend
    port: 8080

Example Servicemonitor propagating the "teamname" label from service:

apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
  name: example-application
  namespace: monitoring
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: example-application
  endpoints:
  - port: backend
    path: /prometheus
  namespaceSelector:
    matchNames:
    - testns
  targetLabels:
    - teamname
    - app
