Hey folks trying to troubleshoot why counter metrics are appearing as gauges on
my end. Is it expected that the StatsdMetricsReporter is reporting gauges for
counters as well?
Looking at this one:

Hi, Iris,
The metrics have already be calculated in Flink. So we only need to report
these metric as the gauges.
For example, the metric `metricA` is a Flink counter and is increased from
1 to 2. The statsd gauge will be 2 now. If we register it as a statsd
counter, we will send 1 and 2 to the st
Hey Hang,
Thanks for the prompt response. Does this mean the Flink counters emitted via
statsd are cumulative then? From the spec

Hi, Iris,
The Flink counter is cumulative. There are `inc` and `dec` methods in it.
As the value of the counter has been calculated in Flink, we do not need
use the counter metric in statsd to calculate.
Best,
Hang

nit: Whether the Flink counter abstraction is cumulative or not is
irrelevant w.r.t. what we send to metric backends.
For example, for Datadog we do send count diffs instead of the current
total count.
