Prometheus Query Language supports the following aggregation functions and operators:<\/p>\n

Aggregate functions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. avg() function calculates the average value of the indicator.<\/li>\n
  2. sum(): calculates the total of the indicator<\/li>\n
  3. count(): calculate the number of observations for the indicator<\/li>\n
  4. Minimum(): calculates the smallest value of the indicator<\/li>\n
  5. max(): calculate the maximum value of the indicator<\/li>\n
  6. Calculate the rate.<\/li>\n
  7. calculate the increment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Operator:<\/p>\n
