Any interest in adding custom events/logging capabilities?

I'd love to have them too.

Interesting–can you describe this idea in a little more detail? An example of how this would work would be super helpful, too. Thanks!

As an example

[dbader]

The dogapi library that we use to talk to DataDog's API supports creating events: dogapi docs. I think you should be able to just require dogapi and fire away...

I'm not sure it adds much if datadog-metrics provided it's own interface to wrap dogapi.event.*. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!

[emilsedgh]

I personally think it would provide value as I wouldnt have to care about two different packages and possibly their different API.

But that's just my $0.02

[emilsedgh]

Please note that I found your package's API easier to use. That's why I use it. I'd rather have the same simplicity on rest of Datadog functionalities.
