This is not supported in the exporter and we have no plans to add it. Most
exporters use a different approach, which we recommend for exporters in
general.

Deploy the expory as a sidecar alongside the MySQL instance. In Kubernetes,
this means an additional container in the MySQL pod. This solves your
problem by making each MySQL+exporter pod its own scrape target with its
own instance label.

For most exporters, the way to think about them is not as a separate
service that somehow interacts with what it is translating for (in this
case, MySQL). Rather see the exporter as an out-of-process plugin, paired
1:1 with each MySQL process. For the purposes of monitoring, they are one
unit, and when looking at metrics and alerts you don't need to worry
whether a piece of software supports Prometheus natively or through an
exporter.

I hope this helps!
