[koupeng]

• Use Case *
  avg(errorlog{domain="1"})
• What I want *
  avg(errorlog{domain="1"})[5m]
  I want the avg function allow aggregating a given instant vector and return an range vector with 5 minutes

Thanks for your report. It looks as if this is actually a question about usage and not development because avg() works only with range vectors. In other words, avg(errorlog{domain="1"}) doesn't make sense since you need at least 2 datapoints to compute the average.
