Description

I installed the stackdriver_exporter (v0.6.0) with helm on my K8s cluster. I only want to monitor my cloud sql DataBase. I set 1h interval (stackdriver.metrics.interval = 1h) in the values.yaml.

However when I call the stackdriver_monitoring_api_calls_total expressions with prometheus, I see a rate of 4500 calls pers hours.

More anormal when I look closely, i see that each 30 seconds, there are 40 more api calles.

Is that the normate rate of stackdriver_exporter ?
Shouldn't I see new api call only each hours ?

thanks in advance

Research direction

Reproduce the report using the Helm deployment, the values.yaml setting stackdriver.metrics.interval=1h, and the stackdriver_monitoring_api_calls_total expression. First compare the observed 30-second increments with the configured interval; done means establishing whether this is expected behavior or identifying a change needed to make the setting effective.
