In environments with lots of nodes or lots of certificates (or both), emitting all labels might prove problematic due to the increased cardinality.

To keep cardinality under control, this commit introduces a way to configure which labels should be emitted, by introducing a new command line switch, --include-labels.

Examples:

$ ./bin/node-cert-exporter ... --include-labels alg,path,subject

$ ./bin/node-cert-exporter ... --include-labels alg --include-labels path

- What I did
Introduced a new switch that allows for choosing which labels emitted metrics should have.

- How I did it
New switch, conditionals in exporter.go

- How to verify it

  • tests are included to ensure filtering inside exporter's New() works
  • manually with and without using the --include-labels switch, which should show the presence of absence of labels.

- Description for the CHANGELOG
Configurable labels in metrics are now possible
