Metrics accessible publicly via auth/metrics path

[Diaaa]

Hey guys, hope ya'll having a good one. I'm a noobie and I don't have a lot of experience. My question is, is it ok for the metrics path to be accessible publicly?

Hello Diaaa,

It might seem harmless but there are some good reasons to make the metrics not public:

• Hackers can get insight into what kind of software you are running.
• Competitors, journalists, etc. can get insight in key metrics of your business.

Cheers,
    Erik.

So it's more likely a best practice to companies. Thanks for the answer Eric.
