 ### What to know about Aggregating DELTA Metrics
 
 Treating DELTA Metrics as a gauge produces data which is wildly inaccurate/not very useful (see https://github.com/prometheus-community/stackdriver_exporter/issues/116). However, aggregating the DELTA metrics overtime is not a perfect solution and is intended to produce data which mirrors GCP's data as close as possible.
