Request
Can we have debug metrics for the otelcol.exporter.loki component (I dont see any) . Or we should rather use metrics such as loki_write_sent_entries_total from the loki.write component.
It would be good to have debug metrics specifically for otelcol.exporter.loki , the same way we have debug metrics such as otelcol_exporter_send_failed_spans_total for the otelcol.exporter.otlp component.
Use case
We would like to visualize in a dashboard log entries sent and dropped by the loki exporter but we do not have accurate enough metrics to achieve that. For now we can only rely on the (imprecise) metrics from the loki.write component such as loki_write_sent_entries_total , loki_write_dropped_entries_total etc .
