Add rate limiting for monitoring

**Description**
Currently components lacks proper serialization support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable serialization with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

Start by resolving the mismatch between the title, which mentions rate limiting for monitoring, and the body, which asks for configurable serialization in components. The payload names no files, tests, or entry points, so identify the affected monitoring and serialization code before defining what behavior and defaults count as done.
