Fixes: #623 (I believe it was incorrectly marked as fixed)
This PR adds
excludeoption to theDefaultMetricsCollectorConfigurationthat allows to omit certain group of metrics from being collected.My own use case is that I use a custom implementation of
eventLoopLagmetrics (though based on the original one), so I need to exclude them to avoid conflicts in registry, but others may want to also use it to remove redundant and unused metrics.An alternative approach would be to expose the exports from
lib/metricsin the public interface, allowing users to import and manually register only the specific metrics they need. I’m not sure, though, which approach is better - this one or theexcludeapproach.
