Metrics capture is broken

[cryptonemo]

Description

After code is merged, CI kicks off a metrics_capture job that fails trying to execute a script on a remote machine. There is no indication of where the script fails. I was able to run it on a locally-remote machine without issue. For all I know, the remote machine it's contacting is not available and it's timing out after 2 minutes.

What is the purpose of this CI job and does it have to be run remotely?

Acceptance criteria

The CI job is either fixed or removed.

Risks + pitfalls

Where to begin

It's been an ongoing issue, and several attempts have been made to fix it. None have worked yet.

I've confirmed that the remote host is unavailable. This host needs to be made available, or the metrics capture will be disabled.

ssh: connect to host ************** port 22: Connection timed out
