What feature would you like to see?

Similar to otel logs and tracing, can we support configuring metrics exporter that we can use to gather internal usage metrics of codex CLI?

Additional information

I tried the below configuration, but doesn't seem to be working:

[otel]
metrics_exporter = { otlp-grpc = {
  endpoint = "http://localhost:18234"
}}

The similar configuration works for traces and logs.

@etraut-openai I see you added enterprise tag to this ticket. We are already paying for OpenAI Enterprise. Is that something that is already supported or visible in the platform?

@etraut-openai I saw mention of otel.metrics_exporter in the Codex's configuration reference, but there were no further details anywhere. Do you know if this is supported now?

OTLP HTTP metrics export is implemented through otel.metrics_exporter.
