Handle edge cases in compression

**Description**
Currently data lacks proper monitoring support.

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

**Priority**: Low/Medium

Start by locating the compression handling and any existing monitoring or configuration entry points in the repository. Review how compressed data is currently processed, then determine the expected monitoring signals and sensible defaults; the work is done when configurable monitoring covers the stated compression edge cases.
