# Which Problems Are Solved - The `uri` label of `http.server.request_count` and `http.server.return_code_counter` holds the concrete request path, so every object ID served over a REST path becomes its own metric series. On our v4.16.2 instance `/debug/metrics` exposes 8,000 series, 4,467 of which (56%) belong to `http_server_return_code_counter_total` alone, spread over 4,390 distinct `uri` values such as `/v2/sessions/385063742120926058`. The set only grows with the number of objects the installation has served. - Paths matching no route are recorded verbatim, so unauthenticated scanner traffic (`/wp-json/`, `/login.php`, …) keeps adding series. - The grpc-gateway answers `405 Method Not Allowed` without going through the configured `errorHandler`, so those responses never reported a route pattern, not even before the regression. This is a regression, first shipped in v4.11.0; v4.10.1 is unaffected. #9286 introduced the mechanism, #9523 extended it to unknown paths, and #11435 removed it while reorganising the middleware packages: > Removed setting of URI to context in metric middleware. There were only setters and no getters. (Unused value) The getter was `*recorder.RequestURI` in `RegisterRequestCounter` / `RegisterRequestCodeCounter`, which the same PR replaced with `baseURI(r)`. Both ends went at once, so nothing failed. # How the Problems Are Solved - `metrics.WithRequestURIPattern` / `metrics.SetRequestURIPattern` are back, and `metrics.RequestURI` is now the single place deciding what to label with: the pattern a router reported, or the requested path if none did. `UnknownPath` moved to the metrics package so every surface shares one constant. - The HTTP metrics middleware prepares the context before passing the request on, which is the half that got dropped. - `setRequestURIPattern` in the grpc-gateway reports the pattern to metrics again, not only to tracing, and is now also called on the `405` branch. - Requests routed by chi (the OIDC endpoints) fall back to the pattern chi matched. That covers the RFC 7592 client configuration routes added in #12315 (`/oauth/v2/register/{client_id}`), which are templated on the client ID, and collapses unknown paths below the OIDC prefixes to `UNKNOWN_PATH` as well. Against the metrics dump from our instance, `http_server_return_code_counter_total` drops from 4,467 series to roughly 35, and the endpoint as a whole from 8,000 to about 3,570. # Additional Changes - Regression tests, which were missing and are the reason the revert went unnoticed: - `metrics`: resolution of the `uri` label, including that a pattern set on a derived context reaches the middleware. - `gateway`: every way the gateway can answer — success, error, unroutable path, wrong method. - `middleware`: both routing styles, i.e. a router reporting its own pattern and a chi routed request. - A doc comment on `SetRequestURIPattern` explaining that it is written by routers and read back by the middleware through the context, so it does not read as an unused setter again. # Additional Context - Closes #12556 - Restores #9286 and #9523 - Regressed in #11435 Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
