What is a CONSTANT metric?
A CONSTANT metric is a metric using CONSTANT as its source in the metric's configuration.
The value of these metrics remains constant for a period of time until the next change in the value is recorded manually in the system.
This type of metric returns a constant value specified when creating it.
