Calculating rate() per-minute, not per-second

[Dave Cadwallader]

I just set up cloudwatch_exporter and I want to track my AWS API usage.

From the cloudwatch_exporter docs:

If you have 100 API requests every minute, with the price of USD$10 per million requests (as of Jan 2015), that is around $45 per month. The cloudwatch_requests_total counter tracks how many requests are being made.

I'm plotting rate(cloudwatch_requests_total) in grafana, and it's giving me a LOT of data points about the per-second rate.  But I'm looking for per-minute, not per-second.

How can I structure this query to give me only "cloudwatch requests per minute" (and to only return per-minute resolution in the results to ease the query and data load)

Thanks!

This will give you the minute rate averaged over 5 minutes.

rate(cloudwatch_requests_total[5m]) * 60
