You haven't given enough details about what your metrics look like or how 
often you are scraping.

However, I can tell you that rate(foo[1m]) only looks at a 1 minute window 
of the input.  If you are only scraping at 1 minute intervals, that means 
there will only be one data point in that window, and it cannot calculate a 
rate from that - so you will get no answer.

If you are scraping at 1 minute intervals then the minimum you need is 
rate(foo[2m])

If you do rate(foo[5m]) this will give you an average across the first and 
last data points in the range, i.e. an average over a 4 minute period if 
you are scraping at 1 minute intervals.

If you do irate(foo[5m]) this will give you the rate between the last two 
data points in the range.
