irate_right()

Calculate the instantaneous rate of change at the right, or latest, edge of a counter aggregate

Since 1.3.0

Calculate the instantaneous rate of change at the right, or latest, edge of a counter aggregate. This is equal to the last value minus the second-last value, divided by the time lapse between the two points, after accounting for resets. This calculation is useful for fast-moving counters.

Arguments

Name	Type	Default	Required	Description
summary	CounterSummary	-	✔	A counter aggregate created using counter_agg

Returns

DOUBLE PRECISION: The instantaneous rate of change at the right, or latest, edge of the counter aggregate
