I have an energy monitoring device, a Belkin Wemo, that reports current usage in milliwatts, and I have those being exported into prometheus. What I'd like is a graph that shows me cumulative KwH, monotonically increasing, since the moment I started collecting data.



The following query plotted in a table with a min_step=1h shows me KwH for each hour, and they add up to what I believe the total KwH is, so I'm pretty sure my data is correct:



sum_over_time(current_power[1h])/1000/1000/count_over_time(current_power[1h])



Plotting that same query in a graph does not do what I want, because I want a cumulative total, not a series of individual hourly totals. If I could just sum the results of this query, I think it would do what I want. However, the sum() operator just doesn't seem to do what I think it would when wrapped around the above query.

          sum_over_time sums up the metric within the timeframe you define for it (the bit in the square brackets)
          getting a commulative number from a gauge / histogram is technically impossible unless you are going to keep your data around forever, which is technically impossible :)
          to properly get what you want, you are going to need to turn this from a gauge / histogram metric into an increment metric

            Then I wanted higher resolution (the above will lag a bit), so I reduced the intervals down to 5 minutes:



            sum_over_time( (sum_over_time(current_power[5m])/1000/1000/count_over_time(current_power[5m]))[1y:5m] )/12


            This gives me KwH for the last year. I've only tested it for a day and a half.
