Object Names and Attribute Filters

ObjectName filters limit which MBeans and attributes the collector processes.

MBean filters

Key	Description
includeObjectNames	List of ObjectName patterns to query. Defaults to all MBeans.
excludeObjectNames	List of ObjectName patterns not to query. Takes precedence over includes. Defaults to none.
whitelistObjectNames	Compatibility alias for includeObjectNames; supported but discouraged.
blacklistObjectNames	Compatibility alias for excludeObjectNames; supported but discouraged.
excludeJvmMetrics	When true, adds common JVM ObjectName patterns to the exclude list. Only relevant for the Java agent.

includeObjectNames:
- java.lang:type=Memory
- java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=*
excludeObjectNames:
- java.lang:type=MemoryPool,name=CodeHeap*
rules:
- pattern: ".*"

Attribute filters

Key	Description
includeObjectNameAttributes	Map of ObjectName strings to attributes to include.
excludeObjectNameAttributes	Map of ObjectName strings to attributes to exclude.
autoExcludeObjectNameAttributes	Automatically exclude attributes that cannot be converted to metrics. Default is true.

ObjectName keys are parsed as javax.management.ObjectName values. Attribute names are matched as strings.

includeObjectNameAttributes:
  "java.lang:type=Memory":
  - HeapMemoryUsage
excludeObjectNameAttributes:
  "java.lang:type=Threading":
  - AllThreadIds
autoExcludeObjectNameAttributes: true
rules:
- pattern: ".*"
