Check metabase-stats

Overview

Getting some statistics from Metabase.

Read the Metabase API Documentation to note some things about user credentials and sessions. The check plugin caches credentials to reuse them until they expire, because logins to Metabase are rate-limited for security. You must use a Metabase superuser.
