Usage with flaskRESTFUL

How can metrics be logged and customized when API is constructed using flaskRESTful library, where instead of routes, you have:

class Coordinates(Resource):
    def __init__(self):
        self.parser = reqparse.RequestParser()
        self.parser.add_argument('radius', type=float, required=False, help="Radius", location='args', default=1)

    def post(self):
        args = self.parser.parse_args()

Would the decorator need to be added for the class? (since the end point is defined on starting the flask server)

api.add_resource(Coordinates, '/coordinates')

I just realized I already have an example for Flask-RESTful here 🤦‍♂️ https://github.com/rycus86/prometheus_flask_exporter/blob/master/examples/restful-with-blueprints/server.py

Does this help answer your question @captify-dieter ?

The issues if i don’t expose the metrics endpoints, you cannot collect the metrics as the flask server will reply with 404,
