Looking at queue sizes I saw that these are "hanging" when going to zero:
When a certain priority has a queued item at any point in time, it's added to the metric. When we don't update the value any more, the last value is used. With the old logic, that would mean when the queued item count for a certain priority goes to zero after being >0, the old value is kept.
The first solution is to just reset the metric before inserting all current values. We see how this would look like in the end of the screenshot, where I did a server restart, so the metric content was reset.
What is not so nice with this is that it leads to gaps in the graph, which also makes using some of the prometheus formular harder. So for the priorities we use the most, I insert
0
as value, if there is nothing queued.
