What could be implemented to observe conditions where services are restricted but not through traditional error handling?

Implementing a request attribute allows for the observation of specific conditions affecting services beyond traditional error handling mechanisms. Request attributes can carry contextual data, which provides insights into the state of a service during interactions. For instance, if certain functionalities are disabled due to specific conditions or user roles, attaching a request attribute can help log these situations without necessarily generating an error.

This approach enables monitoring not just for errors but for limitations or restrictions that affect service behavior. By analyzing these request attributes, teams can gain a better understanding of how service restrictions impact user experience and take proactive measures to address them. This is especially useful in understanding conditional flows or access issues without relying solely on conventional error logs or alerts, making it a more nuanced approach to service monitoring.
