Hello,

You can calculate the average by summing up the values in the metric field based on the mode that you are after.

The exact syntax would depend on what framework or programming language you are using.

The response that you would get would look something like this:

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "resultType": "matrix",
    "result": [
      {
        "metric": {
          "host_id": "222651441",
          "mode": "idle"
        },
        "values": [
          [
            1635386880,
            "122901.18"
          ],
          [
            1635387000,
            "123020.92"
          ],
          [
            1635387120,
            "123140.8"
          ]
        ]
      },
...
    ]
  }
}
