• http_client_requests_seconds_count is the total number of requests your application made to this endpoint (don’t worry about the fact that the name contains the word seconds).

• http_client_requests_seconds_sum is the sum of the duration of every request your application made to this endpoint.

• http_client_requests_seconds_max is the maximum request duration during a time window. The value resets to 0 when a new time window starts. The default time window is 2 minutes.
