Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some metrics are measured in frequency, for example Rounds per Minute in fans or processor frequency.
Currently there is no way to transfer this knowledge in to Icinga 2.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement Hertz ( 1/s ) as a unit, possible shorthands: Hz or H.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Writing the data without units, which removes the context. This is the current way.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating Icinga 2's performance-data unit parsing and representation, then inspect existing unit tests for supported shorthands. Done means Hertz is accepted as a frequency unit, with the agreed Hz or H spelling, and the value retains its unit context.
