Description
similar to dashboards, we should have a metric for the number of variables created in http://localhost:9999/metrics:
```
# HELP influxdb_dashboards_total Number of total dashboards on the server
# TYPE influxdb_dashboards_total counter
influxdb_dashboards_total 16
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the /metrics endpoint and compare the existing influxdb_dashboards_total metric with the handling of variable creation. Determine the corresponding variable counter and verify that its HELP, TYPE, and value output appear correctly at /metrics.
