Is it possible to be able to add custom labels to the metrics already being emitted about reactor-netty

@violetagg Thanks for the quick reply.

This fix makes sense, and I have added in my service for now. Maybe this can be added in the future if required. Let's close this issue for now.

@vpareek1308 Why don't you create every ConnectionProvider with a different name?

For example if you have this code, you will be able to distinguish them using the name tag.

ConnectionProvider provider1 = ConnectionProvider.builder("provider1").metrics(true).build();
ConnectionProvider provider2 = ConnectionProvider.builder("provider2").metrics(true).build();

WebClient.builder()
		.clientConnector(new ReactorClientHttpConnector(HttpClient.create(provider1)))
		.build()
		.get()
		.uri("https://httpbin.org/get")
		.retrieve()
		.bodyToMono(String.class)
		.block();

WebClient.builder()
		.clientConnector(new ReactorClientHttpConnector(HttpClient.create(provider2)))
		.build()
		.get()
		.uri("https://httpbin.org/get")
		.retrieve()
		.bodyToMono(String.class)
		.block();
