Inquiry on querying network traffic

[proxmonxster]

Hi! I've been collecting proxmox data to create visualizations and just wondering what the difference is between non_negative_derivative(mean("netout"), 10s) and mean("netout") is when querying the data such as this:

SELECT non_negative_derivative(mean("netout"), 10s) FROM "system"

and is there a significance diffrence between them?

any guidance is much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I take it you're talking about InfluxDB? A good place to start would probably be the influxDB documentation https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/query_language/functions/#non_negative_derivative

Anyways, you could try it out and see what the output is
