Hello,  
I am using Java Client to expose metrics. In my [localhost.com:8484/metrics](http://localhost.com:8484/metrics) I can see my metrics. Do I have to use metricsservlet and how does it work  
When I run my application:

```auto
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableConfigurationProperties
public class CustomApp{

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(CustomApp.class, args);
        try {
            HTTPServer server = new HTTPServer.Builder()
                    .withPort(1234)
                    .build();
        } catch() ...

```

things seem to work fine as I get no error and it doesn’t enter the catch block. However, when I try to find the metrics on [publichost.com/8484/metrics](http://publichost.com/8484/metrics) it doesnt find the endpoint or point.  
Any idea on what I’m missing?
