Some metrics are not filtered about cassandra-exporter HOT 1 CLOSED

Try adding an exclusion for org.apache.cassandra.db:type=StorageService. That will disable all StorageService metrics.

Exclusions are implemented at registration time and can either filter on MBean names/patterns or collector names.

For most metrics (anything that uses FunctionalMetricFamilyCollector) the collector name is equivalent to the prometheus metric family name, as there is one-to-one mapping between MBeans, collectors and metric families. Hence you can create an exclusion based on a metric family name, since its actually matching the collector name.

But some MBeans, such as the StorageService, have a custom collector -- in this case StorageServiceMBeanMetricFamilyCollector. These collectors output multiple metric families, hence there is no longer a one-to-one mapping. As a result, the exclusion must be created against the MBean name (in this case org.apache.cassandra.db:type=StorageService). This does have the side effect of filtering all metrics families generated by the collector.
