As Nathan has already said, there is no way in today's pmie.
The reason is that no one has ever asked for it until recently, and now two
different requests for equivalent functionality ... one for derived metrics and
this one for pmie. If we implemented the former, you'd have the latter.
I think it is simple to do in both places, and I have it in my TODO queue for
the release after the pending one (so 3.10.6).
I am struggling for a good name for the function to do this (I'd prefer to use
the same name for derived metrics and pmie).
Something like value(x) or norate(x) would take an expression (x) with counter
semantics and return the current value of x without the normal rate conversion.
Votes for value() or norate() would be appreciated, as would suggestions for a
better name.
Sorry this does not help your immediate requirement.
