Internal Metrics improvements
Description of the problem
Improve the utility value of metrics by excluding anon metrics and tracking apps/tags
Proposed solution
- exclude anon status such as filters
- exclude filters "not matched"
- create a new stat for tags set for example "foo" has been set 300 times per second
- create a new stat for app parsers matched
Alternatives
none
Additional context
As users have started moving from compliance /security to operational use cases more users are asking good questions related to how to monitor their logging infra. These stats improvements will help build observability into this critical software
