JVM (Micrometer)

JVM (Micrometer)

A dashboard for Micrometer instrumented applications (Java, Spring Boot, Micronaut).

Features

• JVM memory
• Process memory (provided by micrometer-jvm-extras)
• CPU-Usage, Load, Threads, Thread States, File Descriptors, Log Events
• JVM Memory Pools (Heap, Non-Heap)
• Garbage Collection/Pressure
• Classloading
• Direct-/Mapped-Buffer
• minimalist I/O Overview
  • HTTP - Rate, Errors, Duration
  • TOMCAT/JETTY - Utilisation

Note

Instead of using the job tag to distinct different applications, this dashboard makes use of a common tag called application applied to every metric.

In a Spring Boot setting, this could look like this:

java

@Bean
MeterRegistryCustomizer<MeterRegistry> configurer(
    @Value("${spring.application.name}") String applicationName) {
    return (registry) -> registry.config().commonTags("application", applicationName);
}

Or since Spring Boot 2.1 / Micrometer 1.1.0 with a property:

properties

management.metrics.tags.application=${spring.application.name}
