Telemetry - how and why to enable it

metrics.interval / metrics.addr should be either commented out or having the default values.

In the config of my storagenode, they are commented out, which means I use the default settings:

# address(es) to send telemetry to (comma-separated)
# metrics.addr: collectora.storj.io:9000

# how frequently to send up telemetry. Ignored for certain applications.
# metrics.interval: 1m0s

Using defaults have the same affects:

metrics.addr: collectora.storj.io:9000
metrics.interval: 1m0s

Please note that metrics.interval matters only if it’s 0 (=telemetry is turned off). Any other value will be replaced with 30 min. So it’s not 1min, even if it’s seems to be, but 30min. Just to avoid receiving too much data.
