   This project provides facilities for instrumenting apps with metrics collection
   and interacting with popular third-party application monitoring systems.
   
  
positive.code:     metrics_path: '/prometheus'
      static_configs:
        - targets: ['HOST:PORT']
  ```
negative.code: to a metrics backend anyway, so there seems to be little value in setting those intermediate
  values in the first place.
  
  If it helps, think of a `Gauge` as a heisengauge - a meter that only changes when it
  is observed.
