YES Should we recommend kelvin instead of celcius in histograms and summaries as there would not be negative observations ? https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/6669 On 28 May 20:52, Bjoern Rabenstein wrote: > Dear Prometheans, > > So far, we have recommended Celsius as the base

YES After reading the arguments, I agree that Kelvin / temperature is special enough to warrant an exception. Overall I think it's good that we have rules like "base units only", but it's ok to have occasional exceptions if enough people think it's worth it. On Thu, May 28, 2020 at 8:52 PM

Dear Prometheans, So far, we have recommended Celsius as the base unit for temperatures, despite Kelvin being the SI unit. That was well justified by the overwhelming majority of use cases, where Kelvin would be just weird. I'd really like to see more scientific usage of Prometheus, so I was
