-Triton initializes histograms with default buckets for each, as shown above. Customization of buckets per metric is currently unsupported.
+Triton initializes histograms with default buckets for each, as shown above.
+Buckets can be overridden per family by specifying `model_metrics` in the
+model configuration. For example:
+```
+// config.pbtxt
+model_metrics {
+  metric_control: [
+    {
+      metric_identifier: {
+        family: "nv_inference_first_response_histogram_ms"
+      }
+      histogram_options: {
+        buckets: [ 1, 2, 4, 8 ]
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> To apply changes to metric options dynamically, the model must be completely
+> unloaded and then reloaded for the updates to take effect.
+
+Currently, the following histogram families support custom buckets.
+```
+nv_inference_first_response_histogram_ms  // Time to First Response
