I have a counter that I am plotting on Grafana.
rate(processed_work_items_total{job="MainWorker"}[1m])
I am not getting the expected numbers in Grafana.
What I want is the # of Work Items Processed per minute.
Is my query wrong? or my Unit of Measure in my Y Axis. I currently have it as ops/min and its giving me a super small number.
According to the documentation, rate(processed_work_items_total{job="MainWorker"}[1m]) will calculate the number of work items processed per second, measured over the last one minute (that's the [1m] from your query).
If you want the number of items per minute, simply multiply the above metric with 60.
