Statsd support for Timer metric type?

[nathanjr]

I see from the documentation that Splunk currently supports statsd metric types Gauge and Counter.

Are there plans to support Timer in the near future? Is there a documented method for perhaps emulating this type in current support?

In particular, we would like to send latency metrics to the statsd endpoint in Splunk.

Thanks.
