Description

When injecting autoinstrumentation on nodejs apps, we use the default histogram buckets: [ 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000 ]

While it makes sense for values expressed in ms, it does not work with metrics such as http_server_duration_bucket expressed in seconds.

It seems other SDKs face(d) the same issue:

I would expect to be able to configure the bucket list for metrics to adjust to the currently used unit, ideally through the Instrumentation CRD. As I understand it, we could, for example, pass a view to the created NodeSDK

While this is not an issue for span metrics or service-graph metrics (buckets can be configured downstream), it makes other metrics like http_server_duration_bucket unusable.
