A note for the community
Use Cases
Looking into replacing fluentbit with vector.
Fluentbit statsd input leaves metric names as is.
Vector replaces "/" with "-", whitespaces with "_" and deletes all non alphanumeric characters.
parsing the values after these replacements are made is impossible.
Attempted Solutions
Could not find workaround for this.
Proposal
add configuration option for 'statsd' source to not sanitize metric name.
let user use transforms to modify it later, if needed
