The fix for #18207 chops off the trailing slash of URIs sent in the "http.server.requests" metric.
It's doing it for root URLs, too - meaning that "/" becomes "".
CloudWatch does not like this. It responds with:
The parameter MetricData.member.19.Dimensions.member.5.Value is required. (Service: AmazonCloudWatch; Status Code: 400; Error Code: MissingParameter; Request ID: 2c440f89-401b-4c8f-bd7c-0b1051ee4a0a)
Would it make sense to leave the root URI alone?
