This patch extends the libmetrics logging setup functionality with a
tracing
layer that increments a Prometheus counter each time we log a log message. We have the counter per tracing event level. This allows for monitoring WARN and ERR log volume without parsing the log. Also, it would allow cross-checking whether logs got dropped on the way into Loki.It would be nicer if we could hook deeper into the tracing logging layer, to avoid evaluating the filter twice.
But I don't know how to do it.
