Cost Forecast metrics #19

Hello! First of all, thank you for creating such a great tool! I was wondering if it would be possible to add metrics for cost forecasts for the current month (using GetCostForecast) Having alerts based on forecasted information would be incredibly helpful.

Hi @artful88533, sorry I have been on vacation and missed this message. It sounds like a great idea :)

As there is an API to get the forecasts, it is definitely possible to fetch it and expose it as a metric. I will take a look after the vacation. At the same time, you or other users are more than welcome to contribute to this feature! 🚀

We've configured the necessary metrics using Telegraf along with our custom script. This approach is more flexible for us. Thank you!
