Adding metrics to applications
MicroProfile metrics provides an API for developers to add metrics to their applications.
Metrics come in a variety of forms, including counters, gauges, timers, histograms, and meters. Real
time values of all metrics are available from a call to a /metrics endpoint.
Liberty applications can use the MicroProfile metrics API by enabling the
mpMetrics-1.x
or the mpMetrics-2.x
features. Code that is
instrumented with Dropwizard metrics might be able to run with MicroProfile
metrics with minimal changes.
Documentation for the MicroProfile Metrics feature versions 2.0 and later is available on the Open Liberty website.
