This seems to do a bunch of pre-calculation for things like min/max/avg
that are better done in PromQL. This is both extraneous data, and
unhelpful data at the same time.

For example, ping_rtt_seconds{type=worst}, worst when? What timeframe does
this calculate over? Doing this with `max_over_time()` in PromQL allows the
user to decide what timeframe to look at.

Also, this is bad practice for labeling, because you have different metrics
for different meaning.

For example: sum without (type) (ping_rtt_seconds)

The results of this calculation are nonsensical.
