See https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/46017 for background.
Micrometer is going to provide a setting that allows the JCache removals to be registered as a function counter. As far as I can tell, that option won't be usable in Boot as the auto-configured JCacheCacheMeterBinderProvider isn't @ConditionalOnMissingBean so there's no easy way to define your own provider with a custom JCacheMetrics that uses a function counter for removals.
A couple of options:
- Make the auto-configured
JCacheCacheMeterBinderProvider@ConditionalOnMissingBean - Provide a configuration property, something like
management.metrics.cache.jcache.register-removals-as-function-counter, to control Micrometer's new setting.
We could do either or both of these.

I've submitted a PR. spring-projects/spring-boot#46355. It makes JCacheCacheMeterBinderProvider overridable and add a configuration to register removals as a function counter. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but i'm happy to adjust it based on feedback.

We don't know what we're looking for at the moment, hence the pending-design-work label. That design work will have to be done by a member of the core team before we can proceed.

fyi: https://github.com/micrometer-metrics/micrometer/pull/6471 is released Also, latest bits of Micrometer should prevent registering different Prometheus types with the same name: https://github.com/micrometer-metrics/micrometer/pull/6470 (scrape should not fail but time series will be missing).
