I need to have a percentile histogram of my metrics (http.server.requests). I have checked the documentation but I cannot make it work.

I’m not using promotheus so the properties here (https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.5.RELEASE/reference/html/production-ready-metrics.html#_per_meter_properties) doesn’t work in my case.

I’ve tried to define a bean with implementing a DistributionStatisticConfig.

@Bean
public TimedAspect timedAspect(MeterRegistry registry) {

    registry.config().meterFilter(
            new MeterFilter() {
                @Override
                public DistributionStatisticConfig configure(Meter.Id id, DistributionStatisticConfig config) {
                    if (id.getName().startsWith("http.server.requests")) {
                        return DistributionStatisticConfig.builder()
                                .percentiles(0.5, 0.75, 0.9, 0.95)
                                .build()
                                .merge(config);
                    }
                    return config;
                }
            });
    return new TimedAspect(registry);
}

I have a new metric that has been created with a new tag with the value of the percentile.

Any clue ?
