[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ Management HTTP API historical samples question

[Simon MacMullen]

Hmm, possibly that documentation should be clarified. Really it will 
attempt to return samples up to (the_present modulo lengths_incr), so 
that the inter-sample spacing is consistent.

For the latest value, check the value given outside "samples" - i.e. 
queue_totals.messages in your example.

Cheers, Simon
