Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Monitoring V3 API class Google::Api::Distribution::BucketOptions::Exponential.
Specifies an exponential sequence of buckets that have a width that is
proportional to the value of the lower bound. Each bucket represents a
constant relative uncertainty on a specific value in the bucket.
There are num_finite_buckets + 2 (= N) buckets. Bucket i has the
following boundaries:
