I have a need for DW Metrics to publish/report custom metrics to an Akka ActorSystem so that actors can handle them intelligently. My idea is to have simple/similar functionality as ConsoleReporter, except instead of writing metrics to the console I'd be sending them to some "Metrics Actor" (e.g. metricsActor.tell(new MetricTickUpdate(...), null);).
I'm gonna go forward with this ActorReporter concept for my project but would be willing to contribute if this community feels it would be a welcomed & useful addition.
