Sorry for the delay, I've been dealing with laptop issues and may be slow to reply. From the [Airflow Metrics docs}(https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/administration-and-deployment/logging-monitoring/metrics.html), `dag_processing.processes` represents: ```Relative number of currently running DAG parsing processes (ie this delta is negative when, since the last metric was sent, processes have completed)``` In OTel, a Counter is an incremental value, like the odometer in your car, it can only go up. A Gauge is like your speedometer, it only shows the current value. Neither of these feel too accurate to the intent of the metric. The [OTel specifications](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/metrics/api/#updowncounter), doesn't say an UpDownCounter must be positive. If that is actually true in the python implementation, that may be a bug. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
