Recommendations for Micrometer Backends

jgallimore commented 2 years ago

This PR is for issue #671

This PR contains additional text for the specification documentation around the use of Micrometer Registries, other than the standard Prometheus pull via the /metrics endpoint.

Specifically, this PR attempts to call out:

Implementing with Micrometer is optional
Supporting alternative Micrometer Backends/Registries is also optional
If a vendor wishes to support these registries, recommendations are made around discovery (via the classpath), and configuration to ensure the configuration is consistent with Micrometer itself, and consistent with MicroProfile through the use of the MicroProfile config specification.

I've included an example of these recommendations for an implementation as a CDI extension, using a Producer to add Registries.
