Implementation for #197.
This enables a way to filter metrics by arbitrary logic. The existing
remove()
function is not suitable for this, as it requires us to know the entire label set we want to remove. Theclear()
function is not as it clears everything.A simple doc test is added, as well as a more complex example that uses a custom counter to track the last-access-time and calls
retain
based on that.
