Consul version metric improvements #22918
Description
Feature Description
Consul version metric currently exports version name and ONLY on servers.
It would be good if it exported version_sha, and also on clients.
Use Case(s)
for exporting metrics on clients - we would like to monitor the state of 80k+ consul deployment, which versions they are running and anomalies related to version change.
for exporting sha - we use a fork of consul to apply security patches, same as above - we would like to monitor versions including sha changes.
Happy to work on this feature if it sounds reasonable
