CumulonimbusiStats Gauge and String options - any experience?
Hi, When working with iStats, there is an option to configure the metrics as a Counter, Gauge and String. As far as I understand it, the Gauge gives an average value of all values given to it,...
Yes, it's exactly as you said.
An example of decrementing a gauge value is:
istats incr "uri /api gauge curr_reqs" -- -3Regards,
