It will not produce aggregates. But it may reduce the load a bit without affecting correctness; some variables are not necessarily required for preventing metrics from overriding each other; like the job/task name (because the IDs are good enough).

Thank you for replying!

Will exclusion produce proper aggregates? If I drop subtask_index, will resulting metric be a sum of all the subtasks, or it will be just data from one that was reported the last?

    There is no way to reduce the number of metrics.

    The only thing you can do is exclude specific variables (e.g.,
    task_name), like this:
    metrics.reporter.<reporter_name>.scope.variables.exclude:task_name[;
    <any_other_variables_to_exclude]

    Hi,
    Is there a way to reduce cardinality (preaggregate) metrics that
    are emitted to Prom Push gateway?

    Our metrics infra is struggling to digest per task stats. Any way
    we can configure it to emit per stage aggregates?

    Our current config:
    metrics.scope.tm <http://metrics.scope.tm>    flink.taskmanager
    metrics.scope.operator      flink.operator
    metrics.scope.jm <http://metrics.scope.jm>    flink.jobmanager
    metrics.scope.jm.job        flink.jobmanager.job
    metrics.scope.task  flink.task


    But metrics still look like:
    { job_id="b12e2",
    job_name="kafka_",
    subtask_index="2",
    task_attempt_num="14",
    task_id="00f9d",
    task_name="Source:_Read_from_kafka",
    tm_id="17e3c"
    }

    Am I changing a proper config?
