Invalid -mp parameter

[zlgxzswjy]

Naabu version:

2.1.6 linux amd64

Current Behavior:

Naabu exposes json scan info on a local port bound to localhost at http://localhost:63636 (the port can be changed via the -metrics-port flag)

I noticed that the description of Scan Status was added to the documentation，I think the purpose of this parameter is to replace the original stats parameter and I noticed the -stats parameter was marked deprecated。

But when I used the -mp parameter， I found that it didn't work, requests to port 63636 didn't respond, and the netstat command showed that naabu wasn't listening on any ports during the whole process

Expected Behavior:

Steps To Reproduce:

1、 Run "naabu -host x.x.x.x -p - -mp 63636 -duc" 2、 Run " watch -n 1 'netstat -tunpla|grep naabu' "

Anything else:

Also, I'm sure I have root privileges And I also use go install from the source, but the performance is the same

@zlgxzswjy Thanks for opening this issue. Even if marked as deprecated the -stats flag is still necessary to activate the functionality`

$ naabu -host 192.168.1.1 -p - -mp 63636 -duc -v -debug -stats

in another terminal

$ curl http://localhost:63636/metrics | jq

}

@Mzack9999 Thank you for your reply. I see. I think there may be ambiguity here, I still suggest making some adjustments
