> One approach (which this PR tries to follow) is to expose basic values
which can be sampled by a more sophisticated monitoring tool. Average, sliding
window, etc. can be implemented in there.
That's fine, but I guess my thought was that sampling in this context will
have very low fidelity vs having the server calculate, the avg for example.
Given the monitoring tool will poll every 5 seconds or so (perhaps less
frequently) the number of samples vs the number of proposals could be very low.
Not a reason not to do it, but I'm not sure you're really going to get what you
expect as an operator.
