high cardinality in promethues for same url - spring-boot

We are calling a 3rd party api /api/{code}/authvalue. Now each time we are calling this api we are getting micrometer is treating each call diffrenet as {code} which is different for each call.
we are using default micrometer of springboot of actuators.
Is there any way we can customize it?
/api/1234/authvalue
/api/4321/authvalue
/api/2324/authvalue
to treated as /api/xxxx/authvalue so that Prometheus can club all these metrics into one.

I supposed you are using a restTemplate to call the 3rd party api and you group on prometheus on the metric http.client.requests on the tag URI
It's mean that if you use
restTemplate.getForObject("/api/{code}/authvalue", ObjectReturn.class, Map.of("code","123456"));
The tag uri on your metric will be always "/api/{code}/authvalue" and you will be able to group it by "/api/{code}/authvalue".
Mostly the same for Webclient.
But anyway if you are using spring boot 3.0.X and you want to customise the metric you can still use ObservationRestTemplateCustomizer and ObservationWebClientCustomizer.
You can have a look at the documentation here

Use GraphQL with in existing spring boot rest api

We have few existing rest apis written in spring boot to fetch different data in our project? Now we are exploring options to use GraphQL. But we don't want rest endpoints & response to change since it is being consumed by many UI/backend applications. Can anyone suggest proper way to use GraphQL within existing API without changing rest endpoints and Response type?

Custom Spring Actuator Endpoint which has subsystem and can be added dynamically

I'm looking for a way to implement custom endpoints for a reactive application using Spring Boot 2.2.
The endpoints have some subsystems and perform specific resource operations on the subsystems. The URL paths look like:
/actuator/system1/subsystem_a
/actuator/system1/subsystem_b
/actuator/system2/subsystem_c
Furthermore, system1 and system2 are not both always deployed, so I'd like to add dynamically the endpoints of the deployed system only.
I know I can use ReactiveHealthContributorRegistry to add custom health check endpoints dynamically. Is there a similar way for a fully custom endpoint?
Thanks in advance.
It seems there is no way to construct such complex endpoints like what I asked in Spring Boot Actuator.
I finally decided to use RouterFunction and HandlerFunction referring to the following websites.

Spring boot metrics for rest api with PathVariables

In my spring boot project I would like to keep count of how many times the rest api endpoint responded with status 200. The spring boot actuator metrics endpoint came close to solving this issue for me out of the box.
However, the /metrics endpoint names provided the aggregate of responses by the endpoint method rather than each of the dynamic endpoints created through #PathVariable.
For example:
while I can get http://localhost:8084/myproject/actuator/metrics/http.server.requests?tag=status:200,uri:/api/users/{id}/books
I would like to do something like
http://localhost:8084/myproject/actuator/metrics/http.server.requests?tag=status:200,uri:/api/users/1/books
and
http://localhost:8084/myproject/actuator/metrics/http.server.requests?tag=status:200,uri:/api/users/2/books
and so on.
Is there an easy way to do this?
You can roll your own WebMvcTagsProvider. That's the place where you can hook into the tag generation. Have a look at DefaultWebMvcTagsProvider to get insight on how it is done for the default behaviour.
A note: The default tagging is done on purpose the way it is to hinder metrics explosion, because every metric name + tag combination is a new metric. So be aware of that.

how to make spring mvc functions available for rest calls

I have a spring mvc application which runs correctly,now another colleague wants to call the same functions from another application but he needs REST URL of my functions.
how is it possible to provide the same functionality through spring REST?
is it just with new annotations .please provide some resource to show me how to do it.
when server has a service, only legal clients which had any contracts with server can access it. And clients can use service by the way such as: use RestTemplate to get/post request to URL of service, and clients can get data as JSON, or XML type if you have an equivalent object as this image:
Also, a service can be support as a interface, ex: google search is a service supported by google, but it's not rest service.
If you know each other URL address you can consume each other REST API from java code by using RestTemplate object.
I would advise you to go over the Spring starter guide which deals with that issue, here is the link (Consuming a RESTful Web Service):

Dynamically register hystrix commands without javanica annotations in spring boot

We have developed a software proxy based on spring boot and zuul, that is meant to govern services within our integration layer. We do not own the systems consuming the various services, nor do we own the actual services themselves. The services are SOAP based webservices at present. We make use of pre, post , error and route filters. Validations are database driven, including which client is allowed to call what webservice. All service definitions reside in the database (request endpoint, request xsd, response xsd, which clients are allowed to invoke, etc.).
The aim now is to add hystrix commands to handle service failures, as well as a hystrix dashboard.
The standard way to use hystrix commands involves annotating service methods with javanica. Is there a way to dynamically declare/register hystrix commands for these webservices at runtime after reading the configurations from the database? The hystrix interception will need to happen based on the multiple webservice endpoints being invoked from a single point.
Hoping this is achievable ...if not, I would really appreciate any alternative proposals for how hystrix commands could be declared in this way.
Thanks!
You're saying that you are already using Spring Boot and Zuul. How are you mapping the routes? Through the url param? Then you'll have to enroll your own. But if you define the routes as ribbon services and pass the routes as ribbon servers as described in the documentation you will get Hystrix for free.
