Strange metrics appearing `collectd_mcac_micros_bucket_`

Miles-Garnsey opened this issue · 1 comments

When using MCAC's ServiceMonitor configuration I'm observing a lot of metrics popping up of the form collectd_mcac_micros_bucket_RANDOM_DIGITS.

I'm curious what these are, and whether they correspond to any meaningful metrics? Given commonly observed capacity constraints that we see in larger scale deployments, it would be good to filter these metrics out if they are not meaningful.

The number on postfix is related with log linear buckets .
I think this type of metric can be used for histogram_quantile.
For example, this metric is used on generated grafana dashboard for showing Latency.
