For custom metrics with signalfx talk about micro meter support here https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/get-data-in/application/java/instrumentation/java-manual-instrumentation.html does this basically means i should use micrometer-clj or is it just an artifact of their documentation ? I thought/hoping any and all OTEL javaagent conformed to unified metric publishing interface. I did try clj-otel metrics and so far i can only get it working with prometheus , not signal fx.

Micrometer is an alternative metrics API, you are not required to use it.
