[Feature] Add support for configuring labels emitted in metrics #70

Open costasd opened 2 years ago

costasd commented 2 years ago

In environments with lots of nodes or lots of certificates (or both), emitting all labels might prove problematic due to the increased cardinality.

To keep cardinality under control, this commit introduces a way to configure which labels should be emitted, by introducing a new command line switch, --include-labels.

Examples:

$ ./bin/node-cert-exporter ... --include-labels alg,path,subject

$ ./bin/node-cert-exporter ... --include-labels alg --include-labels path

- What I did Introduced a new switch that allows for choosing which labels emitted metrics should have.

- How I did it New switch, conditionals in exporter.go

- How to verify it

- Description for the CHANGELOG Configurable labels in metrics are now possible
