> It's a bit tricky here, but defaulting to "Gauge" in the "HELP" line is intentional. > > Referring to Prometheus metric specification, if there's no "TYPE" line, the metric will be parsed as "untyped". But MAL CAN'T handle such metrics, will complain about missing type. > > Based on that, I default it to "Gauge". Got it , but the second question is [here](https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/oap-server/server-library/library-util/src/main/java/org/apache/skywalking/oap/server/library/util/prometheus/parser/TextParser.java#L109), I think should set `ctx.type` instead of `ctx.name`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
