Description
For some users, saving the volume of metrics is important. In many other exporters, there are options that completely disable service metrics that are not related to the subject of monitoring, but added by default by golang libraries.
In this case, we are talking about a way to disable metrics go_gc* and process*
The current number of such metrics is 40.
