2 years ago Hi @JanThiel !
That's definitely a really good suggestion. And a must-have feature I will implement in the next version. I'm currently trying some ways to do that, because unfortunately having checkboxes for all metrics is neither practical nor feasible:
- all PerfOps One plugins publish metrics via DecaLog (and by this I mean A LOT of metrics ;))
- as metrics are dynamically published, it would be impossible to have all the list in UI, so impossible to check/uncheck

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Metrics are an amazing tool to get insight into an application. But with the major analytics platforms charging by the number of metrics collected, it is a matter of cost to decide which metrics to actually trace. There are several metrics which create an exponential growth in the number of traced metrics.
Describe the solution you'd like Within
admin.php?page=decalog-settings&tab=metricsallow to enable / disable the single metric. This will allow one to limit the metrics to those really required and thus controlling the created costs by the metrics.Describe alternatives you've considered Select the metrics to submit within the configured metrics provider. As it might be different for each provider / connection.
Additional context We use Datadog. With the Decalog default enabled and metrics submitted on a Multisite Environment we very quickly had several hundred metrics billed there. We then disabled the metrics collection for cost reason.
