Providing custom names for for Metrics in Netflix Servo

Currently, when I create a JMX Metric and I register it, the metric's namespace seems to be generated as:

TYPE.METRIC-NAME.CLASS-NAME.ID

So, a counter metric called "numberOfVisitors" in the class VisitorMetric, registered as VistitorServlet looks like:

COUNTER.numberOfVisitors.VisitorMetrics.VistitorServlet

Ideally, I want it named like:

ID.METRIC-NAME
VistitorServlet.numberOfVisitors

Even if I could reverse it would be better.

After some playing around, I figured out a work around:

I created a new tag using the config builder with the key "class" this creates a metric called:

COUNTER.[METRIC-NAME].[CLASS-NAME].value

You can also override the COUNTER in the bean name by creating a new Class - unfortunately, Netflix made the concrete Counter classes final, so you can't just extend and override some functionality of the class.
