hi @xjdszp, what do you mean by continuous? do you mean continuously increasing? that depends on whether you are sending metrics as cumulative or delta

[xjdszp]

The metrics http_server_request_duration_seconds_count should be cumulative ,actually it does not conform to reality.

@xjdszp firstly the screenshots plot iov_http_server_request_duration_seconds_count not http_server_request_duration_seconds_count. Could you elaborate what the ``iov_...` metrics is. Secondly if you believe you have found a bug then a minimal sample application with instructions to reproduce the issue would be helpful.
