Monitoring ODM-8.12 on certified kubernetes with mpMetrics-5.0 in ODM 8.12.00

We are trying to monitor ODM apps with mpMetrics functionality provided by OpenLiberty, following the documents below:

https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/reference/feature/mpMetrics-5.0.html

https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/introduction-monitoring-metrics.html

however from the discussions we've had with IBM support team, we understand that this feature is not included in the Docker images provided to us for ODM on certified kubernetes

We tried using ODM 8.10 (WebSphere Application Server 21.0.0.3/wlp-1.0.50.cl210320210309-1101) and ODM 8.12 (WebSphere Application Server 23.0.0.3/wlp-1.0.75.cl230320230319-1900) but did not find the features mpMetrics-3.0, mpMetrics-4.0 or mpMetrics-5.0 in them.

Based on the documentation here : https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-liberty/base?topic=management-liberty-features

these packages should be available in the container images provided to us for ODM components.

We did find mpMetrics-1.0, mpMetrics-1.1 packaged in both ODM-8.10 and ODM-8.12, however these features are too old and does not satisfy our monitoring needs.

Please include mpMetrics-5.0 feature in the ODM-8.12 on certified kubernates images.

Note: This is of very high priority, and is already impacting our production workloads and deliverables.
