    metrics: add cpu counters (#26796) · 7dc10071
    turboboost55 authored
    This PR adds counter metrics for the CPU system and the Geth process.
    Currently the only metrics available for these items are gauges. Gauges are
    fine when the consumer scrapes metrics data at the same interval as Geth
    produces new values (every 3 seconds), but it is likely that most consumers
    will not scrape that often. Intervals of 10, 15, or maybe even 30 seconds
    are probably more common.
    
    So the problem is, how does the consumer estimate what the CPU was doing in
    between scrapes. With a counter, it's easy ... you just subtract two
    successive values and divide by the time to get a nice, accurate average.
    But with a gauge, you can't do that. A gauge reading is an instantaneous
    picture of what was happening at that moment, but it gives you no idea
    about what was going on between scrapes. Taking an average of values is
    meaningless.
