Okay so i got my other thing sorted that i had before this in this message

Anyway curious how you did the rocket count what kind of query and options did you set for it?

factorio_items_launched_total{name="satellite"} will give you total satellites launched

using the deriv() function will translate that into a per-second rate. for example, per hour is

deriv(factorio_items_launched_total{name="satellite"}[1h]) * 60 * 60

in my gauge, i use the above query with a singlestat panel. in the options tab, i enabled gauge and set max to 60 so it fills up when i hit 1 rocket per minute

thank you that helped a lot :)
