Data Prepper produces a lot of metrics. And not all of them are necessary for all users. I'd like a way to disable metrics in Data Prepper.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a list to the data-prepper-config.yaml file - disabled_metrics. This will disable metrics by name. It can also support Ant glob patterns to control how they are disabled.

disabled_metrics:
  - **.add_entries.recordsOut.count
  - jvm.gc.max.data.size.value
  - **.BlockingBuffer.readLatency.count

Describe alternatives you've considered (Optional)

I considered adding this into a new file. But, the metrics are all configured in data-prepper-config.yaml, so I think we should keep it there for consistency.

We could also have some heuristic to know when a metric is part of a pipeline or not. Then we could avoid the * and **. But, using * and ** would be more flexible. And probably clearer.

For example, this could attempt to determine that the metric is associated with a pipeline and then disable.

disabled_metrics:
  - add_entries.recordsOut.count
