Expose ASP.NET Core Prometheus metrics on another port

Question

I'm setting up a Prometheus exporter for my ASP.NET Core 3.1 app.

I've imported

And this is what I have configured:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    ...

    app.UseRouting();
    app.UseHttpMetrics();

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapControllers();
        endpoints.MapMetrics();
    });
}

This will expose the metrics endpoint on the same port as the rest of the ASP.NET Core application, for example: my.api.com:80/metrics.

What do I need to do to expose the /metrics endpoint on another port? I would like to have my API running on port 80, and the /metrics endpoint on port 9102.

Can't really find any docs about that.

Edit

I'm deploying this into Kubernetes

I ended up doing like this:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    ...
    app.UseMetricServer(9102);

    app.UseRouting();
    app.UseHttpMetrics();

    ...

}

And then for my Kubernetes Deployment I had to add both port 80 and 9102 to containerPorts under ports.

Additionally I had to set the ASPNETCORE_URLS environment variable to http://+:80;http://+:9102

That way, /metrics is only exposed on port 9102. (However the rest of my API is exposed on both port 80 and 9102).
