MetricsFilter bean is not instantiated because spring has it's own bean of the same name.

[Frank Bregulla]

The MetricsFilter bean is not instantiated. Thus no http metrics are sent to graphite.
The cause is that spring has it's own org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.MetricsFilter bean.

When the Edison MetricsFilter is renamed, it is instantiated correctly and metrics are reported.
