[PROPOSAL] Eliminate most of the proxy.node metrics
In an effort to clean things up, I’d like to remove a lot of the metrics that are calculated via metrics.config. There are three categories that I’m eliminating:
1) Those which are purely copying from the corresponding proxy.process metric.
2) The _avg_ and _10s metrics
3) The ratios metrics.
I feel that #1 is a slam dunk to remove, and #2 and #3 I feel pretty strongly belong in a monitoring software / tool, to better calculate changes and ratios.
I’ve prepared a PR with the changes:
https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/3567
The full list of removed metrics are listed in a comment there.
Cheers,

+1 - All of these are calculated and stat tracking tools can do it themselves

Alright, calling this, and will land my PR once amc approves it.

+1. Our production monitoring system ignores all of these metrics already.

+1. In our production these are all calculated in the data gathering system anyway, which gives a lot more flexibility (such as deciding on new computed metrics after the fact).
