Set kubernetes.cpu metrics as gauge typed
What does this PR do?
No functional change here. While the Datadog Agent uses the self.rate(...) function to submit these:
- https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/blob/0284eaf179a8f780920d23e8b6a02fd95afc1388/kubelet/datadog_checks/kubelet/prometheus.py#L276-L320
These are actually going to be submitted as a GAUGE typed metric
- The
ratetyped metric is a rate of occurrence - while
self.rateAgent function is measuring is a rate of change submitted as agaugetyped metric
The Agent should also be sending up the metadata when it is sending these metrics up, so in app these metrics are already shown as gauge typed. This change is really just to update the docs where these 5 metrics are shown as (rate).
https://docs.datadoghq.com/containers/kubernetes/data_collected/#kubelet
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| kubernetes.cpu.system.total(rate) | The number of cores used for system timeShown as core |
| kubernetes.cpu.user.total(rate) | The number of cores used for user timeShown as core |
| kubernetes.cpu.cfs.periods(rate) | Number of elapsed enforcement period intervals |
| kubernetes.cpu.cfs.throttled.periods(rate) | Number of throttled period intervals |
| kubernetes.cpu.cfs.throttled.seconds(rate) | Total time duration the container has been throttled |
The underlying metrics we are hitting here are of the prometheus # TYPE ... COUNTER, so it makes sense to use the self.rate(...) to calculate the diff. That being said these are still measured and submitted as gauge so docs should reflect that.
