Rack Collector too much data? about client_ruby

[grobie]

For setups using paths which include unbounded dimensions (e.g. a user ID in a path like /users/5432/followers), the default collector configuration can indeed be harmful. For these cases it's possible to provide a custom label builder. At SoundCloud we use this to replace such dynamic parts of a path with a placeholder (e.g. /users/:id/followers).

Check the rack example readme for an example: https://github.com/prometheus/client_ruby/tree/master/examples/rack#collector

@grobie I really appreciate your/soundCloud solution here I think it will work OK. Thanks.
