Yeah... I initially submitted this PR a long time ago to achieve some specific
needs. In the end, I can now achieve the same using the existing Controller
Status reporting task.
I agree that counters could be used to store sensitive information and can
store business-oriented data. But we could say that the controller status
reporting task is a bit similar: it accesses things that are protected through
authent/authorization when using the REST API.
I guess we could change the counters to add a boolean defining if a counter is
"private" and should not be available to reporting tasks. Thoughts?

> At the moment a {{ReportingTask}} cannot access {{CounterRepository}}. It
> would be nice to add this feature allowing reporting tasks to send counters
> data.
> A first implementation would be to add counters data in metrics sent by the
> Ambari Reporting Task so that custom graphs can be easily added in tools such
> as Grafana.
