- [CHANGE] Support non-timer distributions without unit conversion (#314)
- [ENHANCEMENT] Offline configuration check (#312)
- [ENHANCEMENT] Support the SignalFX tagging extension (#315)
- [BUGFIX] Allow matching single-letter metric name components (#309)
Distribution and histogram events (type d, h) are now treated as distinct from timer events (type ms).
Their values are observed as they are, while timer events are converted from milliseconds to seconds.
To reflect this generalization, the observer_type mapping option replaces timer_type.
Similary, change match_metric_type: timer to match_metric_type: observer.
The old name remains available for compatibility.
For users of the mapper library, the ObserverEvent replaces TimerEvent.
For timer metrics, it is emitted by the mapper already converted to seconds.
