Since 1.3.0 Calculate the rate of change of a counter during the time period specified by the bounds in the counter aggregate. The bounds must be specified for the extrapolated_rate function to work. You can provide them as part of the original counter_agg call, or by using the with_bounds function on an existing counter aggregate.

​
Arguments

NameTypeDefaultRequiredDescription
summaryCounterSummary-✔A counter aggregate created using counter_agg
methodTEXT-✔The extrapolation method to use. Not case-sensitive. The only allowed value is prometheus, for the Prometheus extrapolation protocol.

​
Returns

DOUBLE PRECISION: The extrapolated rate of change of the counter over the timer period of the counter aggregate.
