I released another minor release of the agent in order for a new feature to be available.
You can now filter metrics to be collected from Prometheus endpoints.
Before you had no choice but to collect and store every metric from every Prometheus
endpoint being monitored. That is still the default behavior, but now you have the option
to selectively choose what metrics you want to collect and store (ignoring all the rest).
