Description

The indexing pipeline supervisor periodically sends an observation message to all actors of the pipeline.
It was judged too frequent for the multi-index pipeline, and raised to a 10s interval.

Unfortunately the CI relies on these observation to produce some output, and it shows some gaps in the stdout output.

Possible solution: rely on prometheus counters.

Research direction

Start by tracing the indexing pipeline supervisor's observation messages to its actors and inspect how CI derives output from them. Compare the current observation interval behavior with the available Prometheus counters. Done means the CI output no longer has gaps while the multi-index pipeline avoids overly frequent observations.
