### Check for metric updates

Some Otel metrics are used in the k8s monitoring helm chart and in integrations.
Make sure to update this [list](https://github.com/grafana/k8s-monitoring-helm/blob/main/charts/k8s-monitoring-v1/default_allow_lists/alloy_integration.yaml) if any of these metrics has been removed or renamed.
