Metrics Registry support

[jmkgreen]

We are using https://github.com/coursera/metrics-datadog to forward DropWizard metrics into DataDog.

We now find ourselves with a need to submit events, too.

Any chance you guys can import the code dealing with metrics from a registry so that I have one and not two datadog-related dependencies?

Hey @jmkgreen Apologies for the delay on this! Would you mind clarifying what you are looking for a bit and your use case so I can take a proper look into this?

If I can remember, I think I was in need of the referenced utility library to bridge the gap between DropWizard for JMV metrics and the DataDog service. If the code from that project was included within the datadog library it would prevent the need for people to search for and integrate that other library.

Call it a convenience.

I believe Spring Boot 2 includes micrometer which supports JVM metrics and exports into DataDog, so this may be a moot point but for older projects.
