Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
We want to be able to easily read metrics from 3rd party metric sources
Describe the solution you'd like
The opentelemetry-cpp SDK contains a MetricProducer class which makes it very easy to work with 3rd party metric sources:
/**
- MetricProducer defines the interface which bridges to third-party metric sources MUST implement,
- so they can be plugged into an OpenTelemetry MetricReader as a source of aggregated metric data.
- Implementations must be thread-safe, and should accept configuration for the
- AggregationTemporality of produced metrics.
*/
It'd be great if we can have this for Python as well.
Thank you!
