Description

It would be great o have stats that distinguish allows/denies for each provider. This could be done with a single filter or with multiple filters and a stats_prefix attribute which is kind of normal for filters already.

I can probably take this, what seems like the best approach?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the JWT authentication filter's current stats implementation and how per provider stats can be added using a stats prefix or multiple filters. Look at examples in other Envoy filters that use stats prefix.
