Feature: Add support for sending metrics

[xrigau]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Datadog has an HTTP API for posting metrics to Datadog, and I've noticed that this SDK only supports sending logs. Is there plans to add support for Metrics to be sent from mobile?

Describe alternatives you've considered I guess Metrics could be replaced with Logs by adding the metric value as an attribute to the log message, but then it's a bit trickier to visualize the metric in the same way a standard metric can be visualized.

Hello @xrigau ,

Thanks a lot for your interest, supporting metrics directly is something that will most definitely be coming in the future, although we don't have a date yet for that topic.

For now you can indeed use the Log to Metric feature, we'll update this issue as soon as we have a plan for this.

Great! Thanks for the update @xgouchet !

Hello @xgouchet 👋 Do you have any updates on this feature?

HI @PhilippeBoisney , this is still not in our immediate roadmap, but we recently announced a way to Generate Metrics from RUM events, which gives more information into metrics you can generate.
