Background:
In some scenarios, we encountered error responses in the “Peers” metric, but the error logs did not specify the issue. There were two problems:
This implementation addresses the issue and improves the handling of such errors.
Other:
I know the code is not very DRY, but my gut feeling tells me it’s too early for abstraction. In the long term, if we have more metrics with similar scenarios where we need to use the HTTP client extensively, we should build a custom HTTP client wrapper centrally and reuse it across all HTTP-based metrics.
