Micrometer - WebMvcTagsContributor not adding custom tags - spring-boot

Question

I'm trying to add custom tags - the path variables and their values from each request - to each metric micrometer generates. I'm using spring-boot with java 16.
From my research i've found that creating a bean of type WebMvcTagsContributor alows me to do just that.
This is the code
public class CustomWebMvcTagsContributor implements WebMvcTagsContributor {
private static int PRINT_ERROR_COUNTER = 0;
#Override
public Iterable<Tag> getTags(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
Object handler,
Throwable exception) {
return Tags.of(getAllTags(request));
}
private static List<Tag> getAllTags(HttpServletRequest request) {
Object attributesMapObject = request.getAttribute(View.PATH_VARIABLES);
if (isNull(attributesMapObject)) {
attributesMapObject = request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE);
if (isNull(attributesMapObject)) {
attributesMapObject = extractPathVariablesFromURI(request);
}
}
if (nonNull(attributesMapObject)) {
return getPathVariablesTags(attributesMapObject);
}
return List.of();
}
private static Object extractPathVariablesFromURI(HttpServletRequest request) {
Long currentUserId = SecurityUtils.getCurrentUserId().orElse(null);
try {
URI uri = new URI(request.getRequestURI());
String path = uri.getPath(); //get the path
UriTemplate uriTemplate = new UriTemplate((String) request.getAttribute(
HandlerMapping.BEST_MATCHING_PATTERN_ATTRIBUTE)); //create template
return uriTemplate.match(path); //extract values form template
} catch (Exception e) {
log.warn("[Error on 3rd attempt]", e);
}
return null;
}
private static List<Tag> getPathVariablesTags(Object attributesMapObject) {
try {
Long currentUserId = SecurityUtils.getCurrentUserId().orElse(null);
if (nonNull(attributesMapObject)) {
var attributesMap = (Map<String, Object>) attributesMapObject;
List<Tag> tags = attributesMap.entrySet().stream()
.map(stringObjectEntry -> Tag.of(stringObjectEntry.getKey(),
String.valueOf(stringObjectEntry.getValue())))
.toList();
log.warn("[CustomTags] [{}]", CommonUtils.toJson(tags));
return tags;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
if (PRINT_ERROR_COUNTER < 5) {
log.error("[Error while getting attributes map object]", e);
PRINT_ERROR_COUNTER++;
}
}
return List.of();
}
#Override
public Iterable<Tag> getLongRequestTags(HttpServletRequest request, Object handler) {
return null;
}
}
#Bean
public WebMvcTagsContributor webMvcTagsContributor() {
return new CustomWebMvcTagsContributor();
}
In order to test this, i've created a small spring boot app, added an endpoint to it. It works just fine.
The problem is when I add this code to the production app.
The metrics generates are the default ones and i can't figure out why.
What can I check to see why the tags are not added?
local test project
http_server_requests_seconds_count {exception="None", method="GET",id="123",outcome="Success",status="200",test="test",uri="/test/{id}/compute/{test}",)1.0
in prod - different (& bigger) app
http_server_requests_seconds_count {exception="None", method="GET",outcome="Success",status="200",uri="/api/{something}/test",)1.0
What i've tried and didn't work
Created a bean that implemented WebMvcTagsProvider - this one had an odd behaviour - it wasn't creating metrics for endpoints that had path variables in the path - though in my local test project it worked as expected
I added that log there in order to see what the extra tags are but doesn't seem to reach there as i don't see anything in the logs - i know, you might say that the current user id stops it, but it's not that.
