Metrics for all HTTP requests made to influxd are currently reported via telemetry (unless reporting is disabled).

The field http api requests counter includes the total number of API invocations by each API path - even invalid API paths like those generated by things like port scanners etc. These invalid requests generate a huge amount of useless data which makes managing telemetry data difficult.

The scope of this issue is to change the telemetry reporting to only report the count of HTTP API requests for valid paths of influxd.
