docs: remove otel.metric.unit tag, document unit display on Datasets tab - #696
Merged
Conversation
The synthetic otel.metric.unit tag is being removed from MetricsDB responses; unit is metric metadata. Document how the Datasets tab displays units: readable labels for recognized UCUM units, brace-wrapped verbatim values for annotations and non-UCUM text, and empty braces when no unit information is available.

Overview
MetricsDB is stopping returning the synthetic
otel.metric.unittag, so this deletes the only mention of it in the docs — the Unit normalization bullet in the metrics data-model section.It also adds an Explore metrics datasets section to the Datasets overview page (which previously only covered event datasets), documenting how the Datasets tab displays each metric's unit:
By→bytes,ms→milliseconds,1→dimensionless){requests}) and non-UCUM text, shown as ingested{}— no unit information (not ingested, or inconsistent within the selected time range)Testing
