Description:
The
transformprocessor
offers a functionextract_count_metric()
. Currently this function copies over theunit
from the original metric to a newcount
metric. However, this unit is not applicable as the value is a count of how many values were recorded in a Explicit Bucket/Exponential Histogram or Summary.Therefore this PR changes that function so that it adds the default unit (
1
) to the extracted count metric instead.Link to tracking Issue: #31575
Testing: Unit tests (updated)
Documentation: Added a changelog entry as the change is user-facing (the unit of the emitted telemetry is changed)
