It seems like metrics.yaml doesn't apply to my TorchServe service

I'm running TorchServe in WSL2. There are three issues with the metrics:

1. Even if metrics_config parameter in ts.config points to non-existing file everything works without any problems. It looks like the parameter doesn't work in my case
2. Even if I comment/remove some metrics (ts_metrics or model_metrics) I can see these metrics in the ts_metrics.log or model_metrics.log
3. I can't get any of the ts metrics via metrics API. There are only ts_queue_latency_microseconds and ts_inference_requests_total metrics

ts.config:

models={\
  "doc_model": {\
    "1.0": {\
        "defaultVersion": true,\
        "minWorkers": 1,\
        "maxWorkers": 1,\
        "batchSize": 1\
    }\
  }\
}

Here is how I build mar:

 torch-model-archiver \
--model-name doc_model \
--version 1.0 \
--serialized-file model/pytorch_model.bin \
--handler ./src/transformers_vectorizer_handler.py \
--extra-files "./model/config.json,./tokenizer" \
-f
    mkdir -p model_store && mv doc_model.mar model_store/

And how I start TS:

torchserve \
--start \
--model-store model_store \
--models doc_model=doc_model.mar \
--ncs \
--ts-config ./ts.config
