Investigate "error: The metric already exists."
mariliamelo opened this issue · comments
When investigating an alert, we noticed the logs had many entries like
"Errors during metric descriptor creation: {(metric: custom.googleapis.com/opencensus/en-verification-server/api/issue/realm_token_used_count, error: The metric already exists.)}."
We fixed the issue now: The fix is just "delete the metric and hope the CreateMetricDescriptor RPC happen before CreateTimeSeries RPC so correct metric descriptor can be created".
This is fixed and not firing anymore.
