Option to reset counter

Hi I have a application that process data on a recurring base (scheduled task). At the start i want to set/export all counter to 0. If a counter has no label, its working fine (the counter gets exported with 0). But I see no way to set a counter to 0, if it has a label. Maybe a Reset() method on the counter could do that:

var counter = metricFactory.CreateCounter("myCounter", "help text", labelNames: new []{ "method", "endpoint"});
counter.WithLabels("GET", "/").Reset();

Thanks

@sanych-sun Yes the given sample works for me. I just call .WithLabels() and the counter gets initalized with 0. Thanks.

Hi

If you are using v4 of the library you can just call WithLabels by providing your labels combination on start and it should be reported with 0 value.

var counter = metricFactory.CreateCounter("myCounter", "help text", labelNames: new []{ "method", "endpoint"}); counter.WithLabels("GET", "/");

Or if you want to have unlabelled sample reported - access to the Unlabelled property.

var counter = metricFactory.CreateCounter("myCounter", "help text", labelNames: new []{ "method", "endpoint"}); counter.Unlabelled;
