+
+// Description describes a runtime metric.
+type Description struct {
+ // Name is the full name of the metric which includes the unit.
+ //
+ // The format of the metric may be described by the following regular expression.
+ //
+ // ^(?P<name>/[^:]+):(?P<unit>[^:*/]+(?:[*/][^:*/]+)*)$
+ //
+ // The format splits the name into two components, separated by a colon: a path which always
+ // starts with a /, and a machine-parseable unit. The name may contain any valid Unicode
+ // codepoint in between / characters, but by convention will try to stick to lowercase
+ // characters and hyphens. An example of such a path might be "/memory/heap/free".
+ //
+ // The unit is by convention a series of lowercase English unit names (singular or plural)
+ // without prefixes delimited by '*' or '/'. The unit names may contain any valid Unicode
+ // codepoint that is not a delimiter.
+ // Examples of units might be "seconds", "bytes", "bytes/second", "cpu-seconds",
+ // "byte*cpu-seconds", and "bytes/second/second".
+ //
+ // For histograms, multiple units may apply. For instance, the units of the buckets and
+ // the count. By convention, for histograms, the units of the count are always "samples"
+ // with the type of sample evident by the metric's name, while the unit in the name
+ // specifies the buckets' unit.
+ //
+ // A complete name might look like "/memory/heap/free:bytes".
+ Name string
+
+ // Description is an English language sentence describing the metric.
+ Description string
+
+ // Kind is the kind of value for this metric.
+ //
+ // The purpose of this field is to allow users to filter out metrics whose values are
+ // types which their application may not understand.
+ Kind ValueKind
+
+ // Cumulative is whether or not the metric is cumulative. If a cumulative metric is just
+ // a single number, then it increases monotonically. If the metric is a distribution,
+ // then each bucket count increases monotonically.
+ //
+ // This flag thus indicates whether or not it's useful to compute a rate from this value.
+ Cumulative bool
