Counter metric variant (e.g. HW energy usage as Joules counter) is preferred by Prometheus as doing rate calculations in Prometheus is more flexible. However, because collectd stores counters internally as -integers, counter metrics cannot using base units (seconds, joules) as -required by OpenMetrics spec, but microseconds and microjoules. +integers instead of floating point, counter metrics are given in +microjoules / microseconds instead of their (joule / second) SI base +units (required by OpenMetrics spec), for better accuracy. Rate metric variant is directly human readable, and available for metrics where it makes sense (e.g. bytes per second, Watts and RPMs).
