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".
