Add rate limiting for monitoring

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

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

**Priority**: Low/Medium

First reconcile the title, which requests monitoring rate limiting, with the description, which requests configurable compression; the payload does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Confirm the intended scope and defaults before locating the monitoring implementation. Done means an agreed feature is implemented with configuration, sensible defaults, and coverage for the selected behavior.
