public sealed class MetricDescriptor.Types.MetricDescriptorMetadata : IMessage<MetricDescriptor.Types.MetricDescriptorMetadata>, IEquatable<MetricDescriptor.Types.MetricDescriptorMetadata>, IDeepCloneable<MetricDescriptor.Types.MetricDescriptorMetadata>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Additional annotations that can be used to guide the usage of a metric.
The delay of data points caused by ingestion. Data points older than this
age are guaranteed to be ingested and available to be read, excluding
data loss due to errors.
The sampling period of metric data points. For metrics which are written
periodically, consecutive data points are stored at this time interval,
excluding data loss due to errors. Metrics with a higher granularity have
a smaller sampling period.
