// A sampler is an object capable of collecting metrics data of a given type.
// Metrics data can be either Information or Telemetry.
// Information is data that is not expected to be changed frequently or at all,
// for example, the serial number of a device. Information will only be
// transmitted once per session.
// Telemetry is data that may change over time, such as CPU usage, memory usage,
// apps opened by a user etc.. Telemetries are expected to be polled
// periodically.
// So for example a NetworkTelemetrySampler should collect the
// telemetry that can describe the state, usage, and health of the network
// connections.
