Agent Metrics Processor

Supported pipeline types: metrics

This is a temporary processor for supporting conversions from system metrics that follow the OpenTelemetry conventions to "agent" metrics in the format expected by Cloud Monitoring, that aren't currently supported by the Metric Transform processor:

1. Translate from metrics that store process information as resources to metrics that store process information as labels (this will be moved into the Cloud Ops exporter once migration to new pipeline is completed).
2. Split metrics with read/write direction labels into two separate metrics (the metrics transform processor should be extended to support this functionality out of the box).
3. Creates utilization metrics out of usage metrics by dividing the values of each data point by the sum across a particular label / dimension (the metrics transform processor should be extended to support this functionality out of the box).

Configuration

No additional configuration is currently possible. This processor is only expected to be used in a pipeline that includes the Host Metrics receiver and Stackdriver exporter and should generally be the first processor in the pipeline, i.e.

service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [hostmetrics]
      processors: [agentmetricsprocessor, ...]
      exporters: [stackdriver]
