Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Data-Prepper can receive log events but not publish them in Embedded Metrics Format(EMF) to take advantage of metric extraction from CloudWatch Logs services.
Describe the solution you'd like
To solve this, a processor can be made to format the log event into EMF format. This processor would be in charge of generating the root metric document, and inserting the metrics to be extracted (Configurable by plugin).

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the referenced CloudWatch Embedded Metric Format specification, then inspect Data Prepper's processor and plugin conventions to determine the required configuration and integration points. Done means a processor can generate the root EMF document and configurable metric fields for CloudWatch extraction.
