        type: 'Counter', // could be changed, but it's not recommended
        name: 'my_metric_name', // name could be changed
        description: 'My custom description', // description could be changed
        labelValues: { // additional labels
          customLabel: 'hello', // custom labels could be added
          customFnLabel: () => { return new Date() } // if it's a function, it will be called to get label value in runtime
        }
      }
  }
};
// start metrics collection
appInfoPlugin.init(override).start(); // pass override object to init function

console.log(client.register.metrics());

// stop metrics collection
appInfoPlugin.stop();

// stop and clear metrics register
appInfoPlugin.reset();
