Is there a workaround for multiple values for the same attributes?

[kes2464]

One of applications I have has 2 servlets in one JVM, which have their own Hikari connection pool.

[PeriodicMetricReader-1] WARN io.opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.internal.state.AsynchronousMetricStorage - Instrument db.client.connections.max has recorded multiple values for the same attributes: {pool.name="test-pool"}

However, Opentelemetry instrumenter does not distinguish them, so either one is being dropped.
Is there a way to add a label, or an attribute from a servlet name?

Have you considered giving these pools different names?

It isn't a simple change for me due to how it's set in the code, but if there's no other way, then that should be the way to go.

As an alternative you can disable the instrumentation that produces these metrics with -Dotel.instrumentation.hikaricp.enabled=false
