Following with the customization we have already and that are mentioned in:

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MON-2814
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MON-2848

IHAC who would need to enable/disable or parametrize diskstats collector. Here it's the justification:
=====================================
They are using a lot (800+) of fiberChannel connected storage devices in our 60+ node OCP4 cluster. These devices are connected to each of the 60+ workers via multipath and create 1600+ device entries under /dev/...

The node-exporter of prometheus creates a high load for collecting the disc-stats of these devices (every 15 secs), which impacts performance of the whole system.
=====================================

we observer node-exporter is starting to collect diskstats for every "local" device every 15 secs and sometimes it has not enough time to finish before the next run starts.

This is quite related to:
