Hi Alex, both approaches are generally fine, based on your needs. With "losing instrumentation metrics", do you mean the "promhttp_*" metrics about the scrape itself? Those should still be present when just using "promhttp.Handler()" on a different http.ServeMux and starting a second server for that ServeMux. Could you share the relevant lines of your code and/or elaborate?
