Create/send derived metrics

Hi guys,

For example, among the provided monitoring metrics, with given two fields: say X and Y, how can I create and send a derived metric like Z = X+Y or X/Y? I guess it could be simple if I completely understand how the metrics are collected and delivered.

We could calculate it on the receiver side but it degrades the performance of our application overall. Will appreciate your guidance in advance.

Thanks!
