[Hawkular-dev] Stronger typing of metrics

[John Sanda]

We will be providing stronger typing with the changes for pre-computed aggregate metrics. We will be supporting gauges and counters and possibly other types as well. This will be reflected in the REST API. The changes were discussed quite a bit in the meeting that Stefan held on Monday.

And with this I mean the same sort of stuff we had in the RHQ, such as "cumulative / gauge / trendsup / etc", so that we could give better post processing capabilities when fetching the data such as transforming the data between deltas and cumulative (depending on the user needs).

I guess this goes to the other tags discussion also, but I assume our tags are designed to work for searching capabilities as well as for definitions?
