Description
## Feature Request
Right now `linkerd-proxy` will expose metrics under `/metrics` api. There is no metric like in-flight request in the metrics it currently exposes.
### What problem are you trying to solve?
We are trying to implement an autoscaling solution based on in-flight request.
### How should the problem be solved?
Adding in-flight metrics to `/metrics` api.
If you could point me the code that need to be added, I am happy to make a contribution :-)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating linkerd-proxy's existing /metrics endpoint and metric definitions. Determine the intended in-flight request metric semantics from the proxy's request handling, then add the metric and verify that it is exposed through /metrics.
