panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Hello,
Been trying this operator in our development environment. It was working fine until we started noticing a lot of restarts...
After digging through the logs I found this:

{"level":"error","msg":"error processing SLO: 2.843567 can't be higher than 0.000000","sl":"device-info-api","slo":"9999_http_request_lt_500","src":"asm_amd64.s:1357","time":"2020-01-15T17:37:17Z"}
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x8 pc=0x106b4bc]

we had a similar issue, i think in our case the problem was caused by a typo in the total query and indeed we had the same can't be higher than 0.000000" ... that is saying that the total for the query was 0 ... which , since the error one was not, probably meant that the total query was wrong .

@slok could this Medium@9581c6a actually fix this issue ?
