fix(om2): consistency between model and exposition#2890
Merged
Conversation
The model said that: A MetricFamily MUST have a name, HELP, TYPE, and UNIT metadata. However the exposition does not require it to be exposed, therefore for the sake of consistency we make this SHOULD. Also having all caps conflated the model with the exposition. Also this allows very simple exposers to not think about this. Signed-off-by: György Krajcsovits <gyorgy.krajcsovits@grafana.com>
