A collector should distinguish a successful zero from a failed request. Save the fetch status, timestamp, source URL, and any metric definition along with the value.
Use retries with backoff and a reasonable request rate; check the source’s terms before automating access. When the upstream page changes, alert on extraction failures instead of silently charting incorrect data.
