SAMPLE QUESTION:

You are creating an exporter that exposes Prometheus metrics from your fitness tracking app.

Which metric type would be BEST for a metric called steps_total that tracks the total number of steps you have taken?

1. Gauge

2. Counter

3. Summary

4. Info

Think you know the answer? Scroll down to check...

Correct: 2

“Gauge” is incorrect as number of steps taken represents a monotonically increasing value ideal for a counter. Gauge metrics can also go down which will never be the case here.

“Counter” is the correct answer.

“Summary” is incorrect as number of steps taken represents a monotonically increasing value ideal for a counter. Summary metrics sample observations and provide configurable quantiles, neither of which is needed in this scenario.

“Info” is incorrect as this is not a type of Prometheus metric.

Happy studying and best of luck on your Prometheus Certified Associate exam!
