Bellow is the configuration part of metrics setting.

```auto
...
global:
  membership:
    maxJoinDuration: 30s
    broadcastAddress: "192.168.127.18"
  pprof:
    port: 7936
  metrics:
    prometheus:
       timerType: "histogram"
       listenAddress: "192.168.127.18:8000"

services:
  frontend:
    rpc:
      grpcPort: 7233
      membershipPort: 6933
      bindOnIP: "192.168.127.18"
...

```

problem is the metrics I query from prometheus, only have `temporal_system` namespace, like bellow:

```auto

temporal_workflow_completed{activity_type="none", client_name="temporal_go", group="nta-temporal-cluster-1", instance="collector-001:8000", job="file-sd", namespace="temporal_system", task_queue="none", type="temporal", worker_type="none", workflow_type="temporal_sys_tq_scanner_workflow"}

```

Can you see what all namespaces you have with

`tctl namespace list`

Thanks, do you enable metrics for each service or just in “global”. Each service individually should enable its metrics (expose the listenAddress port).
