Application Metrics for Java™

Application Metrics for Java™ instruments the Java runtime for performance monitoring, providing the monitoring data visually with its built in dashboard

The following data collection sources are built-in:

Source Description
Environment Machine and runtime environment information
CPU Process and system CPU
GC Percentage time spent in garbage collection
Memory Java native and non-native memory usage
HTTP HTTP request information

Getting Started

Prerequisites

The Application Metrics for Java agent requires Java version 8.

Releases

Download the latest Application Metrics for Java release zip from Github. This contains:

  • webapp/dashboard/javametrics-dash-x.x.x.war - Javametrics Web Application
  • webapp/prometheus/javametrics-prometheus-x.x.x.war - Javametrics Prometheus Endpoint
  • agent/javametrics-agent-x.x.x.jar - Javametrics agent and required ASM libraries
  • spring/javametrics-spring-x.x.x.jar - Javametrics spring
  • rest/javametrics-rest-x.x.x.war - Javametrics REST api package

Building with Maven

To build with maven

git clone --recursive https://github.com/RuntimeTools/javametrics
cd javametrics
mvn install

To use the agent built locally, you will need to reference the your local javametrics directory when setting the javaagent parameter later in the instructions.

Javametrics is also released on Maven Central with the following artifacts

javametrics-agent

Websphere Liberty

Unpack the release .zip archive that you downloaded in the previous step.

Javametrics requires a Java option to be set in order to load the agent. A jvm.options file is the best way to configure this for Websphere Liberty. It should contain the following entry, where path_to_javametrics_agent_dir is replaced with the actual path containing the javametrics file:

# Load Javametrics Java agent
-javaagent:<path_to_javametrics_agent_dir>/javametrics-agent-1.8.0.jar

If you have built the agent locally, your path_to_javametrics_agent_dir will need to point to your clone of javametrics. e.g.

-javaagent:<path_to_git_home>/javametrics/javaagent/target/javametrics-agent-1.8.0.jar
  • NOTE, if you move the javametrics-agent to another directory you need to make sure you take the asm folder with it. The asm folder is required for the agent to run as it contains files that the agent needs

Copy the required war files into your Websphere Liberty 'dropins' directory.

  • javametrics-dash-x.x.x.war to use the Javametrics dashboard
  • javametrics-rest-x.x.x.war to use the Javametrics REST api
  • javametrics-prometheus-x.x.x.war to use Prometheus support

The URL for the dashboard consists of the server's default HTTP endpoint plus /javametrics-dash/. E.g. Running locally it might be: http://localhost:9080/javametrics-dash/

The URL for the prometheus endpoint consists of the server's default HTTP endpoint plus the default prometheus metrics path /metrics. E.g. Running locally it might be: http://localhost:9080/metrics/

The URL for the REST API context root consists of the server's default HTTP endpoint plus /javametrics. E.g. Running locally it might be: http://localhost:9080/javametrics/api/v1/collections

Open Liberty

Follow all the steps for Websphere Liberty and in addition, make sure that the websocket-1.0 feature is installed on the server. To do this, open the server.xml for the server in question, and in the <featureManager> tags add the following line

<feature>websocket-1.0</feature>

Spring Boot

To enable Javametrics in a Spring Boot application you need to add an extra annotation to your main application class:

@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.ibm.javametrics.spring", "mypackage"})

In a Spring Boot starter project this goes above or below the @SpringBootApplication annotation and you will need to add the package that that class is in to the list of basePackages (in place of mypackage above).

You also need to add the following dependencies to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.ibm.runtimetools</groupId>
    <artifactId>javametrics-spring</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.ibm.runtimetools</groupId>
    <artifactId>javametrics-agent</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.json</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>

Once you have launched your application you will find the dashboard at the server's default HTTP endpoint plus /javametrics-dash/. E.g. running locally with Spring Boot it might be: http://localhost:8080/javametrics-dash/

The URL for the REST API context root consists of the server's default HTTP endpoint plus /javametrics/. e.g. http://localhost:9080/javametrics/api/v1/collections
