Description

@winsmith

The floatValue property in signals is pretty undocumented because I seem to have told almost no one about it. This is a ticket to write an article about it.

Goal: Tell people the floatValue property exists and give a few examples on how to use it

TOC

  • Intro: all payload dimensions you send to TD are typed as strings, but there's a special case
  • What is floatValue? FloatValue is a way that you send a metric – a numerical value – to TD
  • You can average it, sum it up, etc
  • Code example

Basically this but with a bit more content: TelemetryDeck/Issues#233 (comment)

    It'd be great to explain the pros/cons to using the floatValue field for Ints as well!
