Beschreibung

In the telemetry_plugin_collector we are swallowing any errors thrown by getTelemetrySavedObject: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/c2641bd8cc875dd50c63a40fbaf3054780cd570b/src/plugins/telemetry/server/collectors/telemetry_plugin/telemetry_plugin_collector.ts#L45-L52

I don't think that we should do this as we might report different data depending on whether there's an ES connection issue or not (because when there's no savedObject information we rely on the kibana.yml config values).

IMO, we should either let the collector fail or populate the related fields only when getTelemetrySavedObject succeeds.
