 Starting with version 5.0.3, the presence of a https://micrometer.io/[Micrometer] `MeterRegistry` in the application context triggers support for Micrometer metrics.
 
 To use Micrometer, add one of the `MeterRegistry` beans to the application context.

+===== Disabling Meters
+
+With the <<legacy-metrics>> (which have now been removed), you could specify which integration components would collect metrics.
+By default, all meters are registered when first used.
+Now, with Micrometer, you can add `MeterFilter` s to the `MeterRegistry` to prevent some or all from being registered.
+You can filter out (deny) meters by any of the properties provided, `name`, `tag`, etc.
+See https://micrometer.io/docs/concepts#_meter_filters[Meter Filters] in the Micrometer documentation for more information.
+
+For example, given:
+
+====
+[source, java]
+----
+@Bean
+public QueueChannel noMeters() {
+    return new QueueChannel(10);
+}
+----
+====
+
+You can suppress registration of meters for just this channel with:
+
+====
+[source, java]
+----
+registry.config().meterFilter(MeterFilter.deny(id ->
+        "channel".equals(id.getTag("type")) &&
+        "noMeters".equals(id.getTag("name"))));
