+- The `processHandles` and `processRequests` metrics were replaced by the more
+  advanced `processResources` metric, which keeps a track of all sorts of active
+  resources. It consists of the following gauges:
+  - `nodejs_active_resources` - Number of active resources that are currently
+    keeping the event loop alive, grouped by async resource type.
+  - `nodejs_active_resources_total` - Total number of active resources.
