Exporting only certain logs to Prometheus

[andrii-bodnar]

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to export logs corresponding to some list of limited request URIs instead of exporting metrics for all nginx logs?

In my case, I need metrics only for a few amount of requests and do not need all the requests data in my Prometheus instance.

You can adapt the scrape configuration in Prometheus to only keep time series with certain labels / label values.
See metric_relabel_configs in the Prometheus docs. Here is an article with some examples.

@stempler thanks a lot for quick response!

I will check provided links. It looks like it should work in my case.
