Description

Hi all

Is there a way to disable certain type of metrics at the moment? For example, disable request_size_bytes_bucket or just completely disable histograms for any type of metric.

In my case, i am doing a proxy type of a setup with at least 20 routes, so having histogram, bytes, etc generates tons of metrics.

Research direction

Start by locating the Prometheus metrics implementation in echo-contrib and review how request-size, byte, and histogram metrics are currently registered. Done should provide a way to disable selected metric types or histograms, while reducing unnecessary metrics for proxy setups with many routes.
