Report Kafka Offset lag in seconds

[vprithvi]

Requirement - what kind of business use case are you trying to solve?

Currently, offset lag is reported in number of messages which is difficult to contextualize without also looking at number of incoming messages and rate of processing

Proposal - what do you suggest to solve the problem or improve the existing situation?

Compute offset lag in minutes and emit metric

Any open questions to address

Are you planning to add this?

@yurishkuro Indeed! I'll have a diff up in a day or so. Sadly, we can't benefit from this internally yet.
