Question: Prefixing metrics

[jharting]

Is it possible to prefix the collected metrics (e.g. with application name) similarly to how default metrics can be prefixed in prom-client?

[jharting]

Oh nevermind the metric name is overridable via opts.httpDurationMetricName

Glad you found it. FYI it's intentionally not in the docs after prometheus guys convinced me prefixing was a bad thing to do. The right way is to use labels, which you can attach in prometheus itself using relabeling rules. It's not the concern of the service, but rather how you want to aggregate/present them.

@disjunction good to know. Thanks!
