Additionally VictoriaMetrics provides the following handlers:
* `/api/v1/series/count` - it returns the total number of time series in the database. Note that this handler scans all the inverted index,
so it can be slow if the database contains tens of millions of time series.
* `/api/v1/series/count` - it returns the total number of time series in the database. Some notes:
* the handler scans all the inverted index, so it can be slow if the database contains tens of millions of time series;
* the handler may count [deleted time series](#how-to-delete-time-series) additionally to normal time series due to internal implementation restrictions;
* `/api/v1/labels/count` - it returns a list of `label: values_count` entries. It can be used for determining labels with the maximum number of values.
* `/api/v1/status/active_queries` - it returns a list of currently running queries.
