Hi all,

Our company is considering using Elastic Agent instead of Beats (Metricbeat). But I am curious whether Elastic agent could be customized/extended to collect the metrics that has not been supported yet by the current version?  
I am aware that we are able to do that with Metricbeat, using Golang to create new module and integrate that to the Metricbeat customized build ([reference this link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/metricbeat-developer-guide.html)).

However, I am not sure if that is feasible with Elastic agent or not.  
Please share with me some information or guideline if you know how to do this.

Thank you a lot!
