Logs should be the input to generate metrics (in addition to any metrics published directly).
Otherwise, it's hard to convert a stack trace into a metric ;) But you can process the logs to generate a metric about the frequency of stack traces.
Ditto for logs telling you "user Foo doesn't have permissions for that operation". Again, you can make a metric about "user permissions failure" but you still need the log to know that it was user Foo.
