Fwd: [DISCUSSION][IEP-35] Metrics configuration

Nikolay, Igniters,

In my mind there are several configuration aspects:
1. Specifying subset of metrics which are exported to an external system.
2. Subset of metrics which is collected (enable/disable sensor).
3. A particular metric (sensor) parameters.


Are we going to address all points in the same config (file)? In my
experience with metrics (actually not so rich) I have not seen metric
configs similar to logging configs. Are there examples of such
practice in industry?

Also, looking at a line like "cache.my-cahe.GetLatency=50,100,250,500"
I cannot tell much from scratch. My first thought is that having named
parameters can be more readable, e.g. (roughly):
cache.my-cahe.GetLatency={
  intervals: [50, 100, 250, 500]
}
