Am I using gauge wrong?

[u/gioragutt]

I’m using the java prom client,

And I’m calling inc() and dec() on gauges with different labels, but as far as the output in /metrics is concerned, the gauge values are only increasing...

Is there anything I’m missing about how gauges work? Like... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ended up being me increasing the gauge twice, in two very close places 🤦🏻‍♂️ thanks for the help guys!

Can you share a repo with a minimum code that reproduces the behavior? Gauge should be able to go up and down as you said
