Describe your environment
As Sum Aggregation is default mapping for both Counter, and UpDownCounter, it is important to maintain the monotonic property for this aggregation to differentiate the type of value stored. This is required to
- validate the measurement value being recorded.
- Select the correct metric family at the exporter. Eg Prometheus exporter should use
gauge for UpDownCounter, and counter for Counter.
