Expose metrics on providers state about traefik HOT 4 OPEN

Hello @the-nando 👋 And thanks for your interest in Traefik.

Could you explain a bit more your use case for this new metric? Especially, why monitoring these from filtered logs (filtered with the providerName field) is not enough?

Hi @jspdown 😄 The use case is to monitor providers health / status with Prometheus. Tailing the logs is a possible solution but it requires external tooling / exporters which may not be available, and since Traefik already exports Prometheus metrics it should be possible to have them exported natively without much change.

Thanks for the explanation.

We’re unsure about the use case and the traction it will receive. We are going to leave the status as kind/proposal to give the community time to let us know if they would like this idea.
We will reevaluate as people respond.

I would definitely like to add here that it makes sense traefik exposes error rates on provider issues.
