Correct: 2
“Gauge” is incorrect as number of steps taken represents a monotonically increasing value ideal for a counter. Gauge metrics can also go down which will never be the case here.
“Counter” is the correct answer.
“Summary” is incorrect as number of steps taken represents a monotonically increasing value ideal for a counter. Summary metrics sample observations and provide configurable quantiles, neither of which is needed in this scenario.
“Info” is incorrect as this is not a type of Prometheus metric.
Happy studying and best of luck on your Prometheus Certified Associate exam.
