There are a handful of instrumentations that enable metrics, but through a bridge or converter as opposed to generating them directly. Examples are the kafka client, micrometer. These should be documented in a different approach than the existing instrumentations, and excluded from the standard way we are currently using the "telemetry" section in the instrumentation-list.yaml catalog. Perhaps there should also be a new "feature" added to help categorize these.

Discussed here: #15319 (comment)

Instrumentations that should be reviewed and evaluated to see if they fit into this other category:

• kafka-clients-2.6
• micrometer-1.5
• dropwizard-metrics-4.0
