Counter does not reset on flush?

[didip]

Unlike statsd, it looks like counter does not reset on every flush.

Is this expected?

[dmowcomber]

I would also like to know if this is expected behavior.

[m1stermanager]

+1 on this. I would expect the counter to reset and therefore have to write my own once per second sync function

@didip @dmowcomber @cyberdelia would we expect this behavior to perhaps be part of the Config struct or should it always clear a counter on flush?

[didip]

Config struct is much better.

[dmowcomber]

It would be a breaking change if it suddenly was resetting the counter. I think it should be defined in a config with it defaulting to false.

[m1stermanager]

i agree completely. i'll try to get to this one because it really shouldn't be horrible. any ideas on the setting name? something like ResetCountersOnFlush or something similar?

[didip]

That's not bad, it's quite descriptive.

[buzzdan]

any updates on this issue ? @m1stermanager ? @dmowcomber ?

@buzzdan i never actually had the time to do this but feel free to take a stab. If I do get the time I wouldn't mind trying it but i'd be happy to see you beat me to it
