Description
Problem Statement
We have GCP projects that are created dynamically and need to be discovered by the stackdriver exporter,
but currently that aren't, since the exporter fetches the projects only at startup.utilize.
Desired State
The stackdriver exporter fetches the projects it needs to scrape (google.projects.filter arg) on some configurable interval,
that's way we can auto discover new projects and scrape their metrics.
Solution Proposal
- Utilize mutex and keep the prometheus registry & project list in order to register/unregister projects in a separate subroutine.
- Create a continuous update for GCP projects using the filters,
- The update mechanism can and should be editable to both disable the behavior as well as increasing/decreasing the time between polls
we already created a working POC,
which just needs a bit more polishing

Research direction
Start at the startup path where the exporter fetches projects and review the existing working POC mentioned in the issue. Define how filtered projects are polled and registered or unregistered, with configurable polling and a disabled mode; done means newly created matching projects are discovered and scraped without restarting.
