[PVE-User] ceph metrics emitted from metrics endpoint?

[Wolf Noble]

Hi Aaron!

Sure! Totally a legit way to go...

I was thinking that since there is already a metric endpoint configuration mechanism in proxmox, being able to also optionally emit ceph metrics to the same endpoint in an elegant fashion might be attractive through the lens of streamlining converged footprint metrics.

I'd gotten the sense that it's mildly discouraged to go mucking with the underlying daemon configs of ceph, as one might get their fingers caught in the cookie jar during upgrades n wotnot, so thought it worthwhile to ask here first.

Thanks for the tip!
