MIcroProfile Metrics reference list
The metrics reference tables list and describe all the metrics that are available for Open Liberty. Use metric data to effectively monitor the status of your microservice systems.
You can obtain metrics from applications, the Open Liberty runtime, and the Java virtual machine (JVM). They can be gathered and stored in database tools, such as Prometheus, and displayed on dashboards, such as Grafana. For more information about building observability into your applications with MicroProfile Metrics, see Microservice observability with metrics. For more information about integrating MicroProfile Metrics 5.0 with Micrometer to send metric data to third-party monitoring systems, see Choose your own monitoring tools with MicroProfile Metrics.
MicroProfile Metrics base and vendor metrics
When the MicroProfile metrics feature is enabled, a set of base metrics is always reported. You can augment this set of metrics by collecting vendor metrics, which are available from different monitoring components within your Open Liberty server. When you enable both the Performance Monitoring and the MicroProfile metrics feature, you enable the reporting of vendor metrics on the /metrics endpoint. The Performance Monitoring feature retrieves the statistical data from all available monitoring components. The REST base metrics that were introduced in MicroProfile Metrics 2.3 also rely on the Performance Monitoring feature. Before MicroProfile Metrics 2.3, the Performance Monitoring feature had to be explicitly configured. In MicroProfile Metrics 2.3, and later, the Performance Monitoring feature is automatically enabled by MicroProfile Metrics during startup.
Filter metrics to gather only the data you need
By default, all monitoring components are enabled. If your server is collecting more metrics data than you need, you can improve the server performance by collecting only those vendor metrics that you intend to use. To configure only a subset of vendor metrics to be reported, specify the components that you want to monitor in the filter attribute for the monitor configuration element in your server.xml file. You can identify the relevant monitoring component for each vendor metric by referencing the Monitoring component column of the metrics reference tables.
To enable only the monitoring components that are used by MicroProfile Metrics, add the following code to your server.xml file.
<monitor filter="ConnectionPool,ThreadPool,RequestTiming,Session,WebContainer,REST,GrpcClient,GrpcServer"/>To disable all vendor metrics, but to keep the REST base metrics configure the server.xml, as shown in the following example:
<monitor filter="REST"/>To disable all monitoring components, add the following code to your server.xml file:
<monitor filter=" "/>Metrics reference tables
The metrics reference tables list the available metrics when you use one of the following solutions:
In each table, the Prometheus metric names are listed after each metric. The tables also list the metric types, metric units, and descriptions of all metrics that are available for Open Liberty. For the vendor metrics, the associated monitoring component that you can use to filter the metric is also included. The Features required column of the table includes the feature or features that must be enabled to obtain that metric data. The Version introduced column specifies the minimum version of the feature that you must enable to collect the metric.
Units in the metrics reference tables
Metric units are included along with both the metric names and Prometheus names. In MicroProfile 4.0 and earlier, these units can differ because the Prometheus exporter scales metrics to a base unit. For example, while the ft.<name>.bulkhead.executionDuration metric is recorded internally in nanoseconds, the Prometheus output is in seconds. In MicroProfile Metrics 5.0, the unit that is associated with the metric is what is reflected in the Prometheus output. The metrics are not scaled to a base unit.
If no unit is listed next to the metric name, then no units are associated with that metric.
MicroProfile Metrics 5.0 metrics reference
A separate table is included for MicroProfile Metrics 5.0 because of changes in the release that affect the formatting of the Prometheus name, base metrics, and the metric types. For more information, see Differences between MicroProfile Metrics 5.0 and earlier versions: Metric output format.
