 - In this demo the metrics names use the prefix "llm", but in production they will be prefixed with "dynamo" (e.g., the HTTP `/metrics` endpoint will serve metrics with "dynamo" prefixes)
 - This demo will only work when using examples/llm/configs/agg.yml-- other configurations will not work

 # Metrics Visualization with Prometheus and Grafana

-The metrics aggregation service is being replaced by the **`MetricsRegistry`** built-in functionality that is now available directly in the `DistributedRuntime` framework. The new system provides:
-
-- **Built-in Prometheus HTTP endpoint** accessible via `DYN_SYSTEM_ENABLED=true` and `DYN_SYSTEM_PORT=<port>` (default: 8081)
-- **Automatic metric registration** when creating metrics via endpoint factory methods
-- **Automatic labeling** with namespace, component, and endpoint information
