+Without the `keep` rules, Prometheus creates a target for every pod and port in the
+namespace, most of which do not serve metrics. If you already have a scrape job for the
+listeners, add just the two `target_label` relabelings to it.
+
 If you use the Prometheus Operator, the equivalent is a `PodMonitor` (or `ServiceMonitor`)
 with the same entries in its `relabelings`.
