Description

New optional configuration flag drop_tags has been added to SignalFx Exporter to allow users to disable tags metadata sending.

This feature has been introduced due to a common issue among Splunk Observability customers when they're receiving more tags than allowed limit.

Testing

  • added unit test to check if drop_tags flag is working

Documentation

  • added new config option description in README file
