Add ability to mark http status codes as errors though they are not in the 5xx range

Hi,

Certain application owners in our organisation have the need to report error rates based on functional errors which are e.g. reported with a 412 (or other) http status codes. This is technically not an error and those requests are not marked as errors or added to the erroneous calls metrics.

Ideally we can add a configuration to the application perspective allowing us to define custom http status that should be treated as errors - mark http status 410-412, 420 as erroneous.

This is for reporting purposes and possibly SLO not for alerting. We can of course create events using smart alerts based on http status codes - in our case we need the error rate metric though.

Thanks and regards,

Rainer
