Description

### Problem Statement

We are tracking a hardware problem on embedded devices, which seems completely random so far. To do that, we use sentry, and every time the problem happens, we push custom tags containing status information (e.g. what was the system doing when it happened, which version of this or that, etc) in order to identify factors that could influence the occurence ... This works really nice with status strings/labels/versions, but we also want to push numeric status information (e.g. CPU temp, uptime, etc); we tried using tags, but there the integrated view in the issues view counts values, not ranges. In reality, what we would love to see here is a histogram.

### Solution Brainstorm

If all values in the tag seem to be a number, switch to a histogram view with configurable bucket count.
