Description
After seeing recent issues with InfluxDB keeping up with published data, it would be useful to have some estimate of how much data is being published to InfluxDB.
This could be published to a feed and recorded for display in Grafana, however the Agent can't subscribe to its own feeds. One way around this would be to just directly insert the data into the queue that published data is recorded to. Some of the info passed here will need to be "made up" in a sense, as it won't actually be a real feed.

Research direction
Start at the InfluxDBPublisherAgent entry point and trace how published data reaches the recording queue. Determine how to estimate the data rate and represent the synthetic feed information for Grafana, then verify that the estimate is inserted into the queue and can be recorded for display.
