馃挕 [REQUEST] - Add OpenTelemetry Exporter plugin#347

Description

@skinlayers

Summary

It would be useful to be able to export SLO reports to OpenTelemetry. I've already done some initial work, but ran into a stumbling block when trying to leverage the existing prometheus exporter as a template. The prometheus exporter creates a Gauge to build the time_series. OpenTelemetry says that prometheus gauges must be converted to OTLP Gauges. Unfortunately, at the moment, OpenTelemetry only supports async gauges, while slo-generator's design calls for a synchronous gauge. I'm currently looking at ways to wrap the async gauge to make it synchronous.

Basic Example

In the case of writing to Grafana Mimir, it would provide a future-facing alternative to pushgateway or remote write. Ideally both grpc and http would be supported.

Drawbacks

It would add more code to slo-generator that would need to be maintained.
