The new string metric type could be used to store small text info about
events in production. Such as "Feature xyz was introduced", "New firewall
activated"... etc, along with a timestamp.
That is a nice source for Grafana annotations[1], but could serve in our
own charts as well.

String Metric Type - Enhancements
- /strings endpoint was enhanced with querying capabilities similar to
other metric types, including tag related features (HWKMETRICS-402
<
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HWKMETRICS-402>)
- The endpoints under /strings are still experimental, so changes
which break backwards compatibility could be introduced in future releases.
The experimental tag allows time for feedback to better determine what the
API should be.
