Capability to forecast on metrics

Provide ability to forecast the outcome of any metric, including custom metrics, based on any context forecasts context (tag/label/etc.) and scale dynamically with infrastructure and applications. 

Similar capability to what competitors have:

Datadog: For example, if your application starts logging at a faster rate, forecasts can alert you a week before a disk fills up, giving you adequate time to update your log rotation policy. Or, you can forecast business metrics, such as user sign-ups, to track progress against your quarterly targets.
