Dropwizard Metrics seems to have
[MetricFilter](https://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/apidocs/com/codahale/metrics/MetricFilter.html)
built-in. I think we can leverage so for filtering out unwanted metrics, which
would be similar to my original proposal but easier to maintain on our side.
However it still would not be very efficient as it needs to loop through all
metrics every time it reports.---
