I'm new to Prometheus and I'm using it in conjunction with Grafana and
Django. Simple metrics are easy enough to make without knowing much.
Now I'm having trouble with collecting data about files being uploaded. In
my application the user can upload files up to 50MB so it would be nice
if I could have a graph with the total of each file size. Namely 0.5MB,
1MB, 2MB, 5MB .. 50MB.
I tried using a histogram like below
```python
uploaded_file_sizes = Histogram(
'uploaded_file_sizes',
'Uploaded file size in bytes',
buckets=(
10000, # 10KB
100000, # 100KB
500000, # 500KB
1000000, # 1MB
5000000, # 5MB
10000000, # 10MB
25000000, # 25MB
50000000, # 50MB
)
)
```
However I have no idea on how to get a graph that represents the amount of
1MB files uploaded for example. Due to the numbers being cumulative,
this seems a bit hard. Currently I made a fast work-around by showing the
below graph

This requires 5 queries for each specific bucket and the graph is still not
even intuitive.
How can I avoid this cumulative nature of buckets and instead just show the
total files that are closest to a file size (so that no overlapping between
buckets occur)?
