~You can change the poll intervals.~ _edit_: Not the actual real-time stats interval, though — see below.

Actually, just for my understanding... The real-time API takes a Unix timestamp as input, and returns after an arbitrary period of time with, essentially, deltas of all the stats. So...

I dug around in the docs for about 15m and couldn't figure out how to do this. Given [this is how metrics are updated](https://github.com/peterbourgon/fastly-exporter/blob/9c6e59c325b54248d9c64464304e54053c29a8ee/pkg/gen/gen.go#L544) how should I apply a specific...

I guess I don't really understand how timestamps will help here. Are you saying to use a timestamp of the response_ts? Are you seeing that as substantially different than the...

I'm sure I'm being dense here but I still don't understand how a difference of less than a second — which is the granularity of the data itself — is...

JSON is defined by a spec which doesn't guarantee any of the characteristics you list here. If you want to rely on them you're no longer accepting JSON input, you're...

Wow! My first user! 🥺 This is basically where I left things when I was last working on it with serious attention. Your timing is not bad, I've recently started...

Great, thanks for the context. Do you run multiple instances of that service?
