Description
Description:
Continuing the discussion on https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/1585, it would be nice to have path tags on the envoy.upstream_rq for example.
In my opinion it should not be the actual path of the current request, as this could expose sensitive information and also make a lot of unnecessary dimensions on the metric.
But rather, having it based on the RouteMatcher, specifically on prefix, path and safe_regex.
In the end, it does not really matter the full path being used at the moment, but rather which Envoy route was used, and the RouteMatcher would provide us a static and safe tag to be used.
Another approach:
Maybe another thing that could be done is by attaching a tag statically to a route and make that as a tag? Maybe this exists somehow and I'm not aware? Like adding a tag from the route metadata for example...
