Validations
Problem
The telemetry metrics are good, but at least as far as I know, not many people use posthog. I think there could be a more standardized way of exporting metrics in an accessible and flexible way for people to use.
Solution
Use statsd. It's a product that pushes metrics to a time series db. It's right for the plugin usecase because instead of an exporter that needs to know where to pull the metrics from, it pushes them to the db. That way, people can use grafana or other platforms to create their own dashboards based on these metrics. Also, from what I know, statsd is pretty simple to implement, so the overhead of adding it would be rather small.
