In statsd, gauges are last write wins. If you generate stats for an entire cluster using process-reporter, you want to see the statistical spread of the values that occurred in each 10s bucket, such as max, memory, min memory, p99 etc. Timers are used for collecting this information, even if the data isn't strictly related to time.
