Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Most modern observability tools use to push metrics instead of letting a server pulling them. It's less prone to error since who is generating the metrics can decide when to send metrics. Also, when we have fluentd running in containers, it's even harder to keep track of all instances and collect metrics from all of them. Having them sending metrics to a centralized gateway on the other side is much easier.
On top of that, OpenTelemetry is becoming a standard in the industry and it seems to make sense having support for it in FluentD.
Describe the solution you'd like
Having a way of sending OTLP metrics to a configured OTLP endpoint.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The Prometheus plugin is very versatile and the OpenTelemetry collector has a scraper for prometheus endpoints, making it easy to initially migrate to OTel. But it doesn't solve the problem of having FluentD containerized and collecting metrics from all containers. Enabling FluentD to send those metrics periodically to a gateway seems more reliable to me.
