Description

Child of https://github.com/opensearch-project/performance-analyzer/issues/75

In theory, OSMetricsGenerator can be muted and PA(RCA) as a whole can be run without that metrics . However, in OpensearchAnalysisGraph class there are dependency graph of each collectors, so we need to check which will fail if OS metrics generator is muted and how to handle them so that the plugin is still stable.

Research direction

Start with OSMetricsGenerator and OpensearchAnalysisGraph to trace the dependency graph for collectors that consume OS metrics. Identify which collectors fail when the generator is muted, decide how those dependencies should be handled, and verify that the performance analyzer and RCA plugin remain stable without OS metrics.
