Exploring some more examples I saw callbacks is also an option. Wierd thing is they use float for API access even though internally it stores as atomic uint64.

Fixes: #136

Further research showed we can just have callback hooks for the metrics but for for some wierd reason prometheus exposes api as float even though it uses uint64 internally.

Also although I disabled the default metrics there are some useful info

Do we want that too @wind-c ? Or does it feel like too much noise?
