however, if there is an exception before this metering has happened, the

How to pass the values between channelRead and exceptionCaught?

Reset to default 0It is possible to pass the attributes to the channel, String or Integer, they can be used for that.
Static initialization of the class:
private static final AttributeKey<Long> START_TIME_KEY = AttributeKey.valueOf("startTime");
private static final AttributeKey<String> COMMAND_NAME_KEY = AttributeKey.valueOf("commandName");
In channelRead():
ctx.channel().attr(START_TIME_KEY).set(System.currentTimeMillis());
String commandName = "unknown";
ctx.channel().attr(COMMAND_NAME_KEY).set(commandName);
In exceptionCaught():
long duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - ctx.channel().attr(START_TIME_KEY).get();
meterRegistry.timer(
"processing.handlermand.duration",
"command_name",ctx.channel().attr(COMMAND_NAME_KEY).get(),
"success", Boolean.toString(false)
).record(duration, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
