Hi Stuart, Julien,
Following is being done in the application side for the metrics given
in the above mails.:
Some of the metrics used in these charts have multiple labels. Due to
the usage of multiple labels and the possible different values of
these labels, the cardinality of the metrics can be very high. So to
avoid an exponential growth of number of metrics combination that
Prometheus ends up scrapping, the application cleans up counters that
are not incremented for a some period . So at some point some of the
metrics (which have some current value) are removed.
can this be the reason why we see a drop of the counter value in the
above charts ?
Counters must not decrease unless due to a service restart or overflow
event. Otherwise the counter logic will assume the decrease is actually
due to a reset/overflow and rate() will return a spike at that point.
Thanks n Regards,
Chalapathi.

Hi there,
Please note that metric types in Prometheus are informative. You
can in
theory run rate() on both gauges and counters, even if you should only
do it on counters.
