> You don't need to "solve" it. It should be handled by Prometheus. Please read https://www.robustperception.io/how-does-a-prometheus-counter-work, which starts from "A common question is what happens when the process restarts and the counter is reset to 0". @spacewander Thanks for your answer. They said "What you really want to know is how fast it's counting" . But what we need is not how fast but how much . Using rate() to get how much is difficult to get an integer (because " rate() also has logic to handle samples not quite covering the entire time range you pass to rate() ") By the way , they said "This makes it important that it not be possible for Counters to be decremented , **a Counter that has the potential to be decremented is in reality a Gauge**" -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
