Specs:
Grafana: v6.4.5
Host OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4
I have a dashboard set up to monitor traffic via an AWS application load balancer. I’m using requestcountpertarget with a bunch of different backend target groups to see requests for individual sites. This is working fine except I have noticed a weird issue.
The issue I’m having is that when I change the time period in Grafana, the values shown on the graph change by the original value x the number of full days back I go. Let me give an example below:
Time period:
24 hrs - peak requests on Feb 19th at 1630 = 4277
Time period:
2d - peak requests on Feb 19th at 1630 = 8554
Time period:
3d - peak requests on Feb 19th at 1630 = 12831
As you can see, every extra day added to the time period adds the original value to the total.
I thought maybe this was an issue with cloudwatch time periods so I messed around with specifying different explicit period values to the metrics but it didn’t change anything.
If anyone knows what’s going on here I’d very much appreciate the insight 
Thanks,
Guy
