Jonas updated SPARK-38409:
--------------------------
    Description: 
[PrometheusServlet|#L63]] exports gauges with value null as {{{}gauge_name{} 
null{}}}. This can for instance happen if one initializes a 
[DefaultSettableGauge|https://www.javadoc.io/static/io.dropwizard.metrics/metrics-core/4.2.0-beta.3/com/codahale/metrics/DefaultSettableGauge.html]
 without a default value. Null values are not scraped by Prometheus as null is 
not a valid floating point value. A null value prevents any metrics from being 
scraped and the endpoint will be considered to be down by Prometheus.

A solution could be to omit listing the gauge if its value is null.
