Github user phunt commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/415 > One approach (which this PR tries to follow) is to expose basic values which can be sampled by a more sophisticated monitoring tool. Average, sliding window, etc. can be implemented in there. That's fine, but I guess my thought was that sampling in this context will have very low fidelity vs having the server calculate, the avg for example. Given the monitoring tool will poll every 5 seconds or so (perhaps less frequently) the number of samples vs the number of proposals could be very low. Not a reason not to do it, but I'm not sure you're really going to get what you expect as an operator.
