  Description     : The open telemetry framework

Snap is an open telemetry framework designed to simplify the collection,
processing and publishing of system data through a single API. The goals of
this project are to:

- Empower systems to expose a consistent set of telemetry data
- Simplify telemetry ingestion across ubiquitous storage systems
- Allow flexible processing of telemetry data on agent (e.g. filtering and
decoration)
- Provide powerful clustered control of telemetry workflows across small or
large clusters

I would like to bring this in Debian proper as I work full-time with various
telemetry projects and would like better support for telemetry and monitoring
based off of it within Debain rather than relying on external sources or
builds.

At some point if my time allows I would like to create a new team around
monitoring telemetry to maintain this package and others that could be
associated with or provide additional functionality/capability. For now I will
be the maintainer of it.
