Ah, this was actually a pretty nasty bug since it seems to silently fail!
I'm fine merging this patch to fix this issue, but I wonder whether there
are other changes that we could make to `MetricsSystem` in order to prevent
these sorts of issues. For example, it looks like `MetricsSystem` has a bunch
of public methods like `getServletHandlers` that don't indicate when they're
safe to call (e.g. that they are only safe to call after the `MetricsSystem`
has been started). Similarly, there are a bunch of public methods like
`registerSources`, `buildRegistryName`, and `registerSinks()` that should be
private.
I'd be happy to do this cleanup here, but maybe we should just merge this
as-is then do the cleanup in a subsequent PR.
Actually, let's try this: I'll submit a PR to your PR which does the
cleanup in `MetricsSystem.scala` in order to prevent these errors from
occurring silently.
