Get Average Increase Over Time

I am using increase on a counter metric to get the increase in HTTP connections for the last 10 minutes:

increase(http_connections{kind="test"}[10m])

This expression returns two distinct values within my test environment:

15.789
12.631

How can I get the average of the above values?

To flatten that out, you can either increase the interval, simply query for the increase of the last 20min and then divide that by two:

increase(http_connections{kind="test"}[20m]) / 2

(or query the last 30 min and divide by 3)...

Alternatively you can also use the avg_over_time() function with subquery:

avg_over_time(increase(http_connections{kind="test"}[10m])[10m:1m])

this will take one value per minute over the last 10 minutes and use the average of these 10 values as the current value
