mapfile.csv: Add metric entries

[termim]

Is it possible to include corresponding entries into mapfile.csv for existing metric files?

Hi @termim thanks for opening a ticket. You're correct that mapfile.csv is focused on event files at the moment. Can you describe your use case in a bit more detail?

Did you have something such as the following in mind?

• In this example, we should expect that adding 'metrics' to the EventType column will require updates to downstream tools.

  diff --git a/mapfile.csv b/mapfile.csv
  index fc9a30a..cb82d5e 100644

Hi @edwarddavidbaker, yes, that is exactly what I have in mind. That would make metrics files a 'firs class' citizen of the database.
