Allow to disable Micrometer metrics

With Spring Cloud Stream Elmhurst.RC2, we have Micrometer configured out-of-the-box.

I would like to remove it, as we use Dropwizard Metrics - I don’t want to enter a discussion on which one is better, just to be able to disable Micrometer. For the record, I’ll also track this on a ticket (with specific details) on https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster and I’ll link it to here.

I have two “normal” configurations for this:

1. Exclude it in the dependencies: that works perfectly well with org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator but if I do it in org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream I have a

    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'integrationManagementConfigurer' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/integration/config/IntegrationManagementConfiguration.class]: Post-processing of merged bean definition failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to introspect Class [org.springframework.integration.support.management.IntegrationManagementConfigurer] from ClassLoader [sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@18b4aac2]

1. Disable it in the application.yml file using

 management:
    metrics:
        enabled: false

This works well in Spring Boot, but is ignored by Spring Cloud Stream.

For me, both options should work for Spring Cloud Stream, like they do for Spring Boot.

Yes, it’s a temporary solution but that’s good for the moment - I mostly wanted that you are aware of the issue, and to be sure I wasn’t missing something. Thanks a lot!

Only when I add Spring Cloud Stream, otherwise that works very well.
