So there's no way for a user to remove the Prometheus exporter? (Of course, if they did, we'd maybe also want to change the way we expose the port?)

No, but I'm not opposed to providing a way to remove it. I'm just not sure that we should remove it by default whenever the user provides their own exporters.

I keep thinking about the way we deal with debug for logs as a model, but maybe that's too different?

Yeah feels pretty different to me. The debug exporter is there just so that there is some way to view logs if the user doesn't provide another solution, but the Prometheus exporter is key for integrating into our monitoring stack.

Yeah, agreed -- we can use this PR to add other exporters and maybe another to remove Prometheus/remove the exposed port (if we want to. I can imagine someone who wants their own exporter might not want Prometheus at all).
(Though also I'm still curious if there's other ports to expose or other changes for other metrics exporters, but at least we've covered the major ones, I think.)

Wonder if we could add a metrics exporter stage to the Kuttl test? |
Just did. Please take a look. |

| // would make this file excessively long (and string formatting presented it's | ||
| // own formatting headaches), so I am removing them |

Type of Changes:
What is the current behavior (link to any open issues here)?
Currently, OTel metrics are only exported by the default prometheus exporter that we set up to work with our monitoring stack. Users cannot add their own metrics exporters.
What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
Users can now add their own metrics exporters. The default
prometheusexporter has a new component ID ofprometheus/cpk-monitoringto differentiate it from any otherprometheusexporters that users might add.Other Information:
