Could you explain what you mean by "using post man"?

[karthikbhat0307]

curl --location 'http://<push-gateway-url>/metrics/job/some_job/instance/some_instance' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
--data-binary '/tmp/test-data.txt'

Above curl you can import in postman.
If you want to directly choose the file then go to body section and then choose binary and select your file path.

The below content can be your content of the text file /metric

# TYPE some_metric counter
some_metric{label="val1"} 42
# TYPE another_metric gauge
# HELP another_metric Just an example.
another_metric 2398.283
