1. The problem I’m having:
I am trying to figure out the metrics feature for my reverse proxy setup. If I understood correctly, I can get metrics such as caddy_http_requests_total for my reverse_proxy. But I am only getting metrics for the admin endpoints, not for the actual reverse_proxy.
2. Error messages and/or full log output:
