[newrelic-logging] cant disable prometheusAPI metric from fluentbit

[KlockiLego]

Helm: newrelic-bundle - nri-bundle-5.0.116

After installing the latest version of new relic, a lot of metrics are collected, while I am only interested in logs (metric data ingest 98%, log data 2% .....)

I cannot disable prometheusAPI metric collection from fluent-bit. Here I see that there has been some change: Updated newrelic-logging to default send Metrics #1619

Metrics that are collected and cause huge data ingest consumption:

fluentbit_filter_drop_records_total
fluentbit_filter_bytes_total
fluentbit_input_storage_chunks_up
fluentbit_input_records_total
fluentbit_output_errors_total
fluentbit_input_files_opened_total
fluentbit_output_chunk_available_capacity_percent
....

This is documented here:
https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/logs/forward-logs/kubernetes-plugin-log-forwarding/#fluent-bit

Unfortunately the number of data ingest is very large and it should be possible to disable sending these metrics

Thank you for the feedback. We are looking into this issue and will follow up with an update soon

Workaround:
Use: nri-bundle-5.0.112 (with newrelic-logging-1.23.7)
