Any way to collect only specific metrics

[andrii-bodnar]

Hey there,

Is there any way to collect only specific metrics?

For example, I do not need the *_hist_bucket, *_hist_sum, *_hist_count metrics. Is there some configuration to disable collecting these metrics?

I know that it could be filtered on the Prometheus side, but I just want the exporter to do the only needed work.

Thanks in advance!

There is no way to disable the exporter from exporting specific metrics.

You can discard specific metrics (and more) when scraping them in Prometheus. Have a look at Prometheus' relabel_config documentation for more information.
