spanmetricsprocessor for ADOT

[chenfeilee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Thanks for this great product! We are currently using ADOT to collect and send traces to Grafana Tempo. We were looking at aggregated trace metrics off the traces and we saw this spanmetricsprocessor (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/processor/spanmetricsprocessor). Just wondering if this would be made available in ADOT anytime soon?

Describe the solution you'd like

Hi @chenfeilee the spanmetricsprocessor is a component we are interested in adding but we do not currently have a timeline for inclusion into the ADOT Collector.

@bryan-aguilar @mhausenblas Any update on this? And to note spanmetricprocessor has been deprecated, and it should now be spanmetricsconnector

@lewis262626 correct, we're targeting the connector now.

@lewis262626 correct, we're targeting the connector now.

If I could +1 the request to have this in ADOT that'd be great 🙏

@bryan-aguilar @mhausenblas any update on the timeline here? I've seen a couple community PRs to support this connector already, so it seems like the desire is there. Our application would benefit from sending metrics from spans to CloudWatch where all our other metrics are.
