Hello Elastic Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m currently exploring the implementation of custom metrics using the Elastic APM Python agent, as outlined in the documentation here.

While the existing documentation provides a good overview, I would appreciate a more detailed guide or additional examples on how to effectively implement and use custom metrics in Python applications. Specifically, insights into which metric type is best for different use cases—such as when to use gauge metrics versus counters, histograms, etc.—and whether specific metric types need to be plotted in certain ways would be extremely helpful. Additionally, more detailed documentation on the methods available for each metric type would greatly enhance my understanding and implementation.

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your guidance!
