Re: Dynamically adding new metrics

There is no way to do this currently. There has been alot of talk in the past on how to support this - its called "dynamic metadata". See this design wiki page for how far the discussions got (though nothing is planned for implementation right now):

Is there any way for a Script plugin to “find” and add new metrics? Normally, these are hardcoded in the xml configuration file of course. For example, let’s say the script queries a database “where name like ‘metric%’” Then for each returned row, returns a value for ‘metric1’, metric2’ etc.. As the returned list changes, new metric collection would begin and deprecated ones might stop.
