Cumulative to Delta Processor
OpenTelemetry Collector processor · contrib distribution
The cumulative to delta processor (cumulativetodeltaprocessor) converts monotonic sum, histogram, and exponential histogram metrics from cumulative to delta aggregation temporality. Non-monotonic sums are excluded. Delta metrics are excluded from any conversion and forwarded without changes.
