How to turn off jvm_threads metrics from the jmx_exporter

Hello,

I am using jmx_exporter to collect metrics from cassandra, and below is the config file

lowercaseOutputLabelNames: true
lowercaseOutputName: true
whitelistObjectNames: ["org.apache.cassandra.metrics:*"]
# ColumnFamily is an alias for Table metrics
blacklistObjectNames: ["org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=ColumnFamily,*", "jvm.threads*"]
rules:

- pattern: 'org.apache.cassandra.metrics<type=ClientRequest, scope=(\w*), name=(Latency)><>(Count|Value|75thPercentile|95thPercentile|OneMinuteRate|99thPercentile)'
  name: org.apache.cassandra.metrics.ClientRequest.$2
  labels:
    scope: $1
    unit: $3

- pattern: 'org.apache.cassandra.metrics<type=Compaction, name=(BytesCompacted|PendingTasks|TotalCompactionsCompleted)><>(Value)'
  name: org.apache.cassandra.metrics.Compaction.$1
  labels:
    unit: $2

But along with Cassandra metrics I see extra metrics from the exporter. I don’t need all the metrics, is there a way to turn off these metrics and enable only cassandra metrics?

I tried to blacklist them but it doesn’t work

blacklistObjectNames: ["org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=ColumnFamily,*", "jvm.threads*"]```

It’s not possible to turn off. With Prometheus monitoring a process is meant to provide relevant to that process on one /metrics.

Agree, they are useful. but I am using only using jmx_exporter for cassandra metrics and for other common java applications I have other plugins which take care of these. Now all these become redundant, so trying to see if I can disable the jvm metrics from jmx_exporter.
