Pebbles - mean not correct

[ltagliamonte]

The result of using mean5m seems not correct.
To reproduce run the gateway locally and send:

echo '# TYPE test_value gauge
test_value{clearmode="mean5m"} 22' | curl --data-binary @- localhost:4278/metrics/job/testjob

expected 22, returns 0

curl localhost:4278/metrics
# TYPE test_value gauge
test_value{job="testjob"} 0

the result is wrong for all successive submissions.

@sinkingpoint i tested latest master and it seems fixed.
One thing i would add in the documentation is that every5m the mean resets and it doesn't take into account the prev value.

curl localhost:4278/metrics
echo '# TYPE test_value gauge
test_value{clearmode="mean5m"} 1' | curl --data-binary @- localhost:4278/metrics/job/testjob
echo '# TYPE test_value gauge
test_value{clearmode="mean5m"} 2' | curl --data-binary @- localhost:4278/metrics/job/testjob
echo '# TYPE test_value gauge
test_value{clearmode="mean5m"} 3' | curl --data-binary @- localhost:4278/metrics/job/testjob
curl localhost:4278/metrics

sleep 330

curl localhost:4278/metrics
echo '# TYPE test_value gauge
test_value{clearmode="mean5m"} 10' | curl --data-binary @- localhost:4278/metrics/job/testjob
curl localhost:4278/metrics

What was the behavior you were expecting? Pebbles discard data outside the time frame (5 minutes in this case), so this is expected on our end
