					<description><![CDATA[We looked previously at the counter, gauge, and summary, how does the Prometheus histogram work? The histogram has several similarities to the summary. A histogram is a combination of various counters. Like summary metrics, histogram metrics are used to track the size of events, usually how long they take, via their observe method. There's usually also [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We looked previously at the counter and gauge, how does the Prometheus summary work? A summary is a combination of other types, to make common patterns simpler to use. A summary consists of two counters, and optionally some gauges. Summary metrics are used to track the size of events, usually how long they take, via their observe [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Prometheus client library guidelines recommend having a Child be returned via labels(). Why? A common misstep made by those implementing client libraries for Prometheus is to have usage for labels looking something like: MY_COUNTER = prometheus_client.Counter('my_counter_total', 'help', ['labelname']) MY_COUNTER.inc(['labelvalue'], 2.0) # Don't do this. Whereas the correct pattern looks something like: MY_COUNTER = prometheus_client.Counter('my_counter_total', 'help', ['labelname']) MY_COUNTER.labels('labelvalue').inc(2.0) Why [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We looked previously at the counter, how does the Prometheus gauge work? The Prometheus gauge is essentially the same simple idea as gauges in other monitoring systems. Gauges can go up and down over time, and scrapes take a snapshot of the current value. There's no potential for messing around with moving averages or resets, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are four standard types of metric in Prometheus instrumentation: Gauge, Counter, Summary and Histogram. Today we'll have a look at the principles around Counters, and how Prometheus differs from other monitoring systems. &#160; A counter counts things. Sounds simple, right? That's not much use on its own though. What you really want to know [&#8230;]]]></description>
