Cumulative to Delta Processor

Status: under development; Not recommended for production usage.

Supported pipeline types: metrics

Description

The cumulative to delta processor (cumulativetodeltaprocessor) converts cumulative sum metrics to cumulative delta.

Configuration

The default configuration is to convert all monotonic sum metrics from aggregation temporality cumulative to aggregation temporality delta.

The following settings can be optionally configured:

• metrics: The processor uses metric names to identify a set of cumulative sum metrics and converts them to cumulative delta. Defaults to converting all metric names.
• max_stale: The total time a state entry will live past the time it was last seen. Set to 0 to retain state indefinitely. Default: 0
• monotonic_only: Specify whether only monotonic metrics are converted from cumulative to delta. Default: true. Set to false to convert metrics regardless of monotonic setting.

Example

processors:
    # processor name: cumulativetodelta
    cumulativetodelta:

        # list the cumulative sum metrics to convert to delta
        # (optional - defaults to converting all monotonic cumulative sum metrics)
        metrics:
            - <metric_1_name>
            - <metric_2_name>
            .
            .
            - <metric_n_name>
