In contrast, Push() completely removes all previous metrics in a pushed group and then only adds the newly pushed ones. So you can use Add() instead if you are not sending *all* possible metrics to a group every time, and you don't want the old ones to disappear. > replace?

Just be aware of the general limitations of what the Pushgateway should be used for at https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/pushing/. Most of the time it's just used to push metrics once, at the end of a batch job run, but in some cases it can also make sense to push metrics on a more ongoing basis, like if you want to report on the progress of an ongoing batch job while it's running.
