Feature request: Option to setLogger for metrics as it is done with tracer

[jorgevrgs]

Use case

Currently, tracer.provider.setLogger(logger) allows the customization of the logger. However, in the Metrics class there is not an option to do the same.

Solution/User Experience

Instead of only using this.setConsole() here as a private method, it is possible to update the MetricsOptions and receive a logger there.

Alternative solutions

- Update `MetricsOptions` to receive a custom logger
- Expose `setConsole` method as public and receive a param `logger: Logger` of the same type of `tracer.provider.setLogger`.

Acknowledgment

Hi, thank you for opening this issue.

We already have an issue to track this at #2126, and a PR open to implement this at #3057.

Thank you so much for replying. I guess I used the wrong terms when I was looking for an existing topic about the same issue 🙂.

No worries, it's not easy to keep track of existing issues and the title of that one wasn't super clear.

I'm going to close this in favor of #2126, which should also be closed soon.
