+If there is a suffix of `_total` on the metric name, it will be removed. When

+Info tracks key-value information, usually about a whole target.

+Enum tracks which of a set of states something is currently in.

 ### Labels
 
 All metrics can have labels, allowing grouping of related time series.

 - Registries can not be used as normal, all instantiated metrics are exported
 - Custom collectors do not work (e.g. cpu and memory metrics)
+- Info and Enum metrics do not work
 - The pushgateway cannot be used
 - Gauges cannot use the `pid` label
