> Currently, the name of the metric is restricted to alphanumeric characters. This restriction was originally put in place to circumvent issues due to systems not supporting certain characters.
> However, this restriction does not make a lot of sense since for group names we don't enforce such a restriction.
> This also affects the integration of the Kafka metrics, so i suggest removing the restriction.
> From now on it will be the responsibility of the reporter to make sure that the metric identifier is supported by the external system.
