The solution should be the same as this recent 
thread: https://groups.google.com/g/prometheus-users/c/gy510HjV-Sw

1. Set a label like __tmp_keep to any string, for those metrics you want to 
keep

*- sourceLabels: [__name__] **  regex: **kube_namespace_created**  
replacement: 'true'**  target: __tmp_keep*


2. Then only drop those for which __tmp_keep is empty (unset)

*- sourceLabels: [namespace,__tmp_keep] **  regex: 'z{3,6};'**  action: 
drop*
