Jolokia plugin and custom_vars

Checkmk Exchange
1

Is there option to somehow set custom_vars for just one instance and not for the other, or to put it another way is there a option to set custom_vars per instance?
Currently all instances get queried for all defined custom_vars which ist not needed.
Before jolokia_generic became official part of check_mk there was “vars” property for instance and you could define custom mbeans per instance there.

Another question.
Sample jolokia.cfg says:

# Custom MBeans can be defined like this:
# (MBean, path/within/mbean, title, [], False, value_type)
#custom_vars = [
#('foo.bar:type=baz', 'FooBar/baz', 'Foo', [], False, 'string'),
#]
# Supported Value types: 'string', 'number' and 'rate'

What does fourth([]) and fifth(False) property stands for? I could not find any info on this.
Thanks!

no, thats not possible. you can try to order this as a feature request.

Quick Solution:
make a second config file only for this instance, make a copy of the mk_jolokia and and change the name of configfile. It is an ugly solution but the fastest to implement without the need to program anything.
