We have implemented what I consider custom metrics. We use Datadog. So a lot of this is out of the box. You can use their implementation, but you're adding some code to specific parts of your application. Maybe it's a callback on your active record model. When something is created, you send a message to an queue and then that triggers over a message into statsd.com. that goes to Datadog.
