I have little knowledge of the metrics system. I can appreciate the
overhead of yet another config flag, and can also see how you might want to
monitor apps by instance (ID) or class (name) so to speak.
The change here seems like a fairly uninvasive version, as you can only
name an existing property to draw the value from, and it defaults to current
behavior. I can see the argument for limiting it further to "id" or "name" only.
I expect the downside are new bugs: my metrics failed because my app name
is "<WOOT>". Is there an extra issue of escaping anywhere here? IDs may not
have had such a problem.
It seems plausible to me, even if I feel like I don't know enough to review.
