How to exclude Hystrix Metrics from the Actuator /metrics endpoint? - spring

Question

I have a spring-boot-app with Actuator and Hystrix enabled.
Spring-Boot-Version: 1.3.1.RELEASE
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-eureka</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-hystrix</artifactId>
</dependency>
When I add #HystrixCommandto some methods, the /metrics Endpoint shows all the metrics from hystrix:
gauge.hystrix.HystrixCommand.RestEndpoints.TestController.test.errorPercentage: 0,
gauge.hystrix.HystrixThreadPool.RestEndpoints.rollingMaxActiveThreads: 1,
...
Question:
How can I exclude the hystrix-metrics completely from the /metricsendpoint?
Update 1
I tried to exclude the ServoMetrics and SpectatorMetrics with these approaches:
1)
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={ServoMetricsAutoConfiguration.class,
SpectatorMetricsAutoConfiguration.class} )
2)
#SpringBootApplication(exclude={ServoMetricServices.class, SpectatorMetricServices.class})
But both did not achieved the desired effect.

Answer 1

This issue was created and fixed. In snapshots you can now set the following:
hystrix.metrics.enabled=false.

Answer 2

If you don't want any other metrics, better solution would be to create your own MetricsRegistry. This way, any other future code changes (adding more jars with more in built metrics) would not affect.
#Configuration
public class MetricsConfiguration {
private MetricRegistry metricRegistry;
MetricsConfiguration() {
//avoid other metrics already registered
metricRegistry = new MetricRegistry();
}
}
Note: Creating a #Bean of type MetricRegistry would not help, as Spring autoconfigure will use this Bean object instead of MetricsRegistry object from MetricsDropwizardAutoConfiguration.java
