As the
stats prometheus
command is intended to be used to forward metrics to Prometheus or any other time-series database, displaying orphaned metrics should be avoided in order not to insert new data points when a given metric is no longer alive.In case you are interested in the last known value of orphaned counters, use the
stats
orquery
subcommands.
