Add configuration options for monitoring

**Description**
Currently controllers lacks proper filtering support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable filtering with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the controller monitoring path and its existing configuration, then clarify the filtering dimensions and sensible defaults before implementation. Done means controllers support configurable filtering with the agreed defaults and the behavior is covered by tests.
