It integrates with the OpenTelemetry SDK's metric reader pattern, allowing you to define meters and counters that automatically ship to Cloud Monitoring on a periodic schedule.\n\nHowever, the package is deprecated. Google Cloud now supports native OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) ingestion directly for metrics, traces, and logs via the Telemetry API, making this exporter unnecessary for new projects. The maintainers recommend migrating to standard OTLP exporters instead. If you are starting a new integration, use OTLP; if you maintain existing code using this exporter, plan a migration.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining existing code already using this exporter. For new projects, use native OTLP exporters instead\u2014Google explicitly recommends this migration path.
