Collector

The type for each collector config is map, with two always required keys:

• name, which defines the collector name

• type, which selects the concrete collector type and therefore determines how the remaining keys are interpreted

The available collector types are documented below.

Collectors

• aggregate
• discard
• internal
• regulate
