OTEL metrics from FDB

Using FoundationDB
1

Hi!

I recently stumbled upon possibility to export metrics with OTEL.

knob-metrics-data-model = otel
knob-otel-udp-emission-addr = 127.0.0.1
knob-otel-udp-emission-port = 9000
knob-metrics-emission-interval = 30.0
knob-metrics-emit-ddsketch = true

But the realization looks odd. It packing metrics with msgpack and protocol isnt otel compatible IIUC. I even wrote a small bridge between FDB and Victoriametrics and metrics looks like something useful, but I dont understand why I cant find anything mentioned about them in the documentation. Any idea about the future of this?

I believe the OTel metrics feature is currently unmaintained.
