Describe the bug
Hello,

i'm trying to fill a grafana dashboard and it seems that only these code are exposed in promhttp_metric_handler_requests_total :

  • 200
  • 500
  • 503

image

I've triggered other code (301/404/etc) in access.log of ngninx but none appear in exporter / prometheus / grafana. Only 200/500/503

Your environment

  • Version of the Prometheus exporter: 1.2
  • Version of Docker: 26.1.3
  • Using NGINX

Hi @fabiencharrasse

promhttp_metric_handler_requests_total is the number of times the exporter gathered the metrics from nginx and the response code it received.

I think what you're looking for is nginxplus_server_zone_responses_codes (which requires NGINX Plus).

Let me know if that makes sense.

Thank you for the answer. Too bad, I will do without this functionality.
