StatusGroup / Path for requests?

[jundong321]

Since rejected response can't have labeled path, there is no way to know exactly what request is rejected. Can we add StatusGroup and Path to requests?

Hi @jundong321.
Indeed, this is a conscious design decision that unhandled requests have a fixed label

You must also be careful about cardinality: see here

An attacker can hammer your service with random paths requests that will blow up your registry and also increase costs if you export the metrics to an centralized logging service like datadog or AWS CloudWatch.

There is no easy way to change this behavior. I would advise use a custom rejection handler with a specific handleNotFound that will log the rejected path, or other type of rejection you want to log.

Concerning the status group, it should be available on the rejected responses.

Hope this helps
