Hey team 👋🏻 tldr: We want to ingest "metrics" to Datahub but there is no such type as far as I can see. Is there a type you can recommend for this use case or can we add such a type to Datahub? --- We have a use case for ingesting metric information to Datahub. Metrics are entities calculated and served via different ways such as REST or via data stores. You can think these as the standart application metrics(such as the ones Datahub exposes via jmx), but calculated from the data itself. Metrics has a name, definition(as a document), a way of calculation(which does not in the scope of the question) and dimensions. Dimension is a term agian used in the application metrics. An example metric might be "number of sessions". Dimensions of can be time window, user type etc. As far as I can see, there is no such entity type in Datahub. Would you have a suggested type for us to use or may I request adding such an entity type. It seems like e.g Atlan has a similar entity type that we can get an idea from: https://atlan.com/partners/dbt/ (under the topic dbt metrics as first-class citizens in Atlan) cc: @white-holiday-83392 @worried-butcher-63655

I support such request, having metrics would be super useful

Hi! We would definitely accept a contribution here- in the meantime it’s a feature request https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/. I’ll forward this to our team!

I just created one: https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/p/support-for-metric-entity-type Thank you !

We're looking at this feature request with interest. 🧐 However since

dbt

now supports metrics definition, I am wondering if there are plans to bring metrics in DataHub via the dbt integration? Currently our workaround would involve using glossary terms, however dbt metrics provide many more useful attributes.
