Proposed commit message

Please note that this module is being removed directly without deprecating. Please read the explanation below

We do not support this OpenAI module; in fact, we never actually utilized it. Our initial plan was to use this module for integration, but immediately after we merged it, OpenAI announced their official Usage API. Consequently, we developed the solution in CEL instead. The CEL approach allows us to iterate faster and makes updates easier to deploy.

Although this metricbeat module for OpenAI was originally planned for integrations, this module remained in beta and was never used. We discontinued it right after the release because it relied on querying an undocumented API for metrics, which was previously the only option. With the new official API now available, we are removing this unauthorized workaround. Users should not use this module, as it is unsupported by us, and the underlying undocumented API is not endorsed or supported by OpenAI.

Please use https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/integrations/openai instead, which collects metrics from OpenAI's official usage API and is the recommended way to collect metrics from OpenAI.

This pull request does not have a backport label.
If this is a bug or security fix, could you label this PR @shmsr? 🙏.
For such, you'll need to label your PR with:

  • The upcoming major version of the Elastic Stack
  • The upcoming minor version of the Elastic Stack (if you're not pushing a breaking change)

To fixup this pull request, you need to add the backport labels for the needed
branches, such as:

  • backport-8./d is the label to automatically backport to the 8./d branch. /d is the digit
  • backport-active-all is the label that automatically backports to all active branches.
  • backport-active-8 is the label that automatically backports to all active minor branches for the 8 major.
  • backport-active-9 is the label that automatically backports to all active minor branches for the 9 major.

No only stdlib and elastic libs were used for OpenAI.
