For now, you can use the following annotation in nginx ingress:

nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
        location ~* ^/metrics {
          return 404;
        }

@prabhatsharma That will block access to the endpoint though.

Closing it with recommendation to handle it at ingress layer.
