etime | long | end time of the interval, 0 means use newest value's timestamp as end time. |
sample_interval | int | interval between samples in milliseconds, should be greater than 0. |
bound_by_stime | boolean | true implies for stime less than oldest value's time stamp[t0] use t0. |
Returns
| Type | Description |

boolean | true if samples of the property always decrease, false otherwise. |
