Hi all, Byts could mean bytes per second, bytes. Incorrect assumptions could lead to really wrong results. First, let's set the ground rule that all metrics output should standardize base unit of bytes, and milliseconds for timestamp, and bytes per second for rate. Metrics/column header should append unit to the end. For example:
devicename_operation_Unit sda_rkbs By using the first principle rule, we could scrap the headers that don't apply to the general rule, and replace their header with the common ones. Once the data has been cleansed, the list of common units become readily available for implementation. It would be the time to write the automated unit converter. Once automated conversion is done, database should be converted to use the new format with a new set of dictionaries. It's fair size of code, and I think it would help if more developers participate to iron out each part.
