Use Case

We collect events count on the mobile application (like count of errors), send them to Telegraf and scrape data by Prometheus.
We don't have a monotonic increasing without cumulative effect (like for histogram aggregator). Sum is reset based on period settings, which prevents us from building graphs with different time intervals.

Expected behavior

It would be great to have a config parameter for the basicstats plugin to enable accumulation of data.

Actual behavior

We are forced to do it with starlack plugins
