Metric names in specification don't match hostmetrics's paging scraper
Metric names should be consistent between specification and receiver scrapers. The metrics in question are from the hostmetrics
receiver, specifically the paging scraper: system.paging.operations.page_in
and system.paging.operations.page_out
. The specification incorrectly labels these as system.paging.operations.in
and system.paging.operations.out
. I believe the README and code are correct and the specification needs to be updated to match, but I'm open to correction here.
The mismatch appeared as a part of the direction attribute removal for the paging scraper.

Thank you for reporting this. Would you be willing to follow-up?
I'm unsure how to proceed based on #2726. It looks like discussion is going on to may revert these changes and revisit the metric format change. Reverting the changed would resolve this issue.
I think it may be best to wait and see what happens with the metric format change as a whole before fixing.
Yes, it looks like we will revert all changes stemming from the change of "direction", which I think means reverting the name change here.
