Description

I accidentally sent malformed data to a push gateway and got back a 500 Internal Server Error. The body of the response had information about the malformed data but all that was printed was the fact that I got a 500 Internal Server Error.

Example code:

import prometheus_client

reg = prometheus_client.CollectorRegistry()
c1 = prometheus_client.Counter("foo", "bar", labelnames=["baz", "stuff"], registry=reg)
c1.labels({"baz": 1, "stuff": 2}).inc(1)
c2 = prometheus_client.Counter("foo", "bar", labelnames=["baz", "stuff"], registry=reg)
c2.labels({"baz": 3, "stuff": 4}).inc(2)
prometheus_client.push_to_gateway('localhost:8000', job='example', registry=reg)

Output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    prometheus_client.push_to_gateway('localhost:8000', job='example', registry=reg)
