It could be that some of your scrapes are failing. With a 1 second scrape interval, the scrape time limit will be 0.5 seconds by default, I believe.
What does a graph of up{job="prometheus",instance="host.docker.internal:3000"} scrape_duration_seconds{job="prometheus",instance="host. docker.internal:3000"} show? What happens if you change your scrape interval to 10 seconds? How are you generating this "test_total" metric, i.e. what exporter is running on port 3000? And can you show the definition of the "prometheus" scrape job in your prometheus.yml ? (Aside: it would be normal to give the scrape job a more descriptive name, since you're not scraping prometheus itself) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
