Description

The delta to cumulative processor (deltatocumulativeprocessor) converts metrics from delta temporality to cumulative, by accumulating samples in memory.

Configuration

processors:
    deltatocumulative:
        # how long until a series not receiving new samples is removed
        [ max_stale: <duration> | default = 5m ]
 
        # upper limit of streams to track. new streams exceeding this limit
        # will be dropped
        [ max_streams: <int> | default = 9223372036854775807 (max int) ]

There is no further configuration required. All delta samples are converted to cumulative.

Troubleshooting

When Telemetry is enabled, this component exports several metrics.
