Hi , Thanks for the response. When we a recording rule, what will be the metric type of this derived counter?. In the increase function documentation it was mentioned that increase(v range-vector) calculates the increase in the time series in the range vector. Breaks in monotonicity (such as counter resets due to target restarts) are automatically adjusted for.
Also why it worked on the original metric as on both dervied and original metric has reduction?
