# Micrometer Metrics

Micrometer provides an abstraction layer for metrics collection. It defines an API for basic meter types, like counters, gauges, timers, and distribution summaries, along with a `MeterRegistry` API that generalizes metrics collection and propagation for different backend monitoring systems.

This document is part of the Observability in Quarkus reference guide which features this and other observability related components.

| Micrometer is the recommended approach to metrics for Quarkus.

| By default, the metrics are exposed on the main HTTP server. If you would like to surface metrics from a separate management port, see the Managed interface section.

## Micrometer and monitoring system extensions

Quarkus Micrometer extensions are structured in the same way as the Micrometer project. The `quarkus-micrometer` extension provides core Micrometer support and runtime integration. Other Quarkus and Quarkiverse extensions use the Quarkus Micrometer extension to provide support for other monitoring systems.

Quarkus extensions:

- micrometer

- micrometer-registry-prometheus

Quarkiverse extensions (may be incomplete):

- micrometer-registry-azure-monitor

- micrometer-registry-datadog

- micrometer-registry-graphite

- micrometer-registry-influx

- micrometer-registry-jmx

- micrometer-registry-newrelic-telemetry

- micrometer-registry-otlp

- micrometer-registry-signalfx

- micrometer-registry-stackdriver

- micrometer-registry-statsd

To add support for Prometheus metrics to your application, for example, use the `micrometer-registry-prometheus` extension. It will bring in the Quarkus Micrometer extension and Micrometer core libraries as dependencies.

Add the extension to your project using following command (from your project directory):

CLI

    quarkus extension add micrometer-registry-prometheus

Maven

    ./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='micrometer-registry-prometheus'

Gradle

    ./gradlew addExtension --extensions='micrometer-registry-prometheus'

This will add the following to your build file:

pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
        <artifactId>quarkus-micrometer-registry-prometheus</artifactId>
    </dependency>

build.gradle

    implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-micrometer-registry-prometheus")

And you’re all set!

A similar process applies for other meter registry extensions. To use the Micrometer StackDriver MeterRegistry, for example, you would use the `quarkus-micrometer-registry-stackdriver` extension from the Quarkiverse:

CLI

    quarkus extension add io.quarkiverse.micrometer.registry:quarkus-micrometer-registry-stackdriver

Maven

    ./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='io.quarkiverse.micrometer.registry:quarkus-micrometer-registry-stackdriver'

Gradle

    ./gradlew addExtension --extensions='io.quarkiverse.micrometer.registry:quarkus-micrometer-registry-stackdriver'

pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.quarkiverse.micrometer.registry</groupId>
        <artifactId>quarkus-micrometer-registry-stackdriver</artifactId>
    </dependency>

build.gradle

    implementation("io.quarkiverse.micrometer.registry:quarkus-micrometer-registry-stackdriver")

### Other registry implementations

If the Micrometer registry you would like to use does not yet have an associated extension, use the `quarkus-micrometer` extension and bring in the Micrometer meter registry dependency directly:

pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
        <artifactId>quarkus-micrometer</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.acme</groupId>
        <artifactId>custom-micrometer-registry</artifactId>
        <version>...</version>
    </dependency>

build.gradle

    implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-micrometer")
    implementation("com.acme:custom-micrometer-registry")

You will then need to specify your own provider to configure and initialize the MeterRegistry, as discussed in the next section.

### Create a customized MeterRegistry

Use a custom `@Produces` method to create and configure a your own `MeterRegistry` if you need to.

The following example customizes the line format used for StatsD:

    @Produces
    @Singleton (1)
    public StatsdMeterRegistry createStatsdMeterRegistry(StatsdConfig statsdConfig, Clock clock) { (2)
        // define what to do with lines
        Consumer<String> lineLogger = line -> logger.info(line);

        // inject a configuration object, and then customize the line builder
        return StatsdMeterRegistry.builder(statsdConfig)
              .clock(clock)
              .lineSink(lineLogger)
              .build();
    }

1 | The method returns a `@Singleton`.
2 | The method returns the specific type of `MeterRegistry`

This example corresponds to the following instructions in the Micrometer documentation: Micrometer StatsD: Customizing the Metrics Sink

Use MicroProfile Config to inject any configuration attributes you need to configure the registry. Most Micrometer registry extensions, like `quarkus-micrometer-registry-statsd`, provide registry-specific configuration objects that are integrated with the Quarkus configuration model. The Quarkiverse GitHub Repository can be a useful implementation reference.

## Create your own metrics

Metrics data is used in the aggregate to observe how data changes over time. This data is used for trend analysis, anomaly detection, and alerting. Data is stored by backend monitoring systems in time series databases, with new values appended to the end of the series.

| Metrics are constructed lazily. You may not see any data for the metric you’re looking for until you’ve performed an action that will create it, like visiting an endpoint.

### Naming conventions

Meter names should use dots to separate segments, `a.name.like.this`. Micrometer applies naming conventions to convert registered meter names to match the expectations of backend monitoring systems.

Given the following declaration of a timer: `registry.timer("http.server.requests")`, applied naming conventions will emit the following metrics for different monitoring systems:

- Prometheus: `http_server_requests_duration_seconds`

- Atlas: `httpServerRequests`

- Graphite: `http.server.requests`

- InfluxDB: `http_server_requests`

### Define dimensions for aggregation

Metrics, single numerical measurements, often have additional data captured with them. This ancillary data is used to group or aggregate metrics for analysis. The Micrometer API refers to this dimensional data as tags, but you may see it referred to as "labels" or "attributes" in other documentation sources.

Micrometer is built primarily for backend monitoring systems that support dimensional data (metric names that are enriched with key/value pairs). For hierarchical systems that only support a flat metric name, Micrometer will flatten the set of key/value pairs (sorted by key) and add them to the name.

Tags can be specified when a meter is registered with a `MeterRegistry` or using a Meter Filter.

See the Micrometer documentation for additional advice on tag naming.

| Each unique combination of metric name and dimension produces a unique time series. Using an unbounded set of dimensional data can lead to a "cardinality explosion", an exponential increase in the creation of new time series.

### Obtain a reference to a MeterRegistry

To register meters, you need a reference to a `MeterRegistry`, which is configured and maintained by the Micrometer extension.

Use one of the following methods to obtain a reference to a `MeterRegistry`:

1. Use CDI Constructor injection:

       package org.acme.micrometer;

       import io.micrometer.core.instrument.MeterRegistry;

       import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;
       import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
       import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;

       @Path("/example")
       @Produces("text/plain")
       public class ExampleResource {

           private final MeterRegistry registry;

           ExampleResource(MeterRegistry registry) {
               this.registry = registry;
           }
       }

2. Use a `MeterRegistry` member variable and use `@Inject`:

           @Inject
           MeterRegistry registry;

3. Use the global `MeterRegistry`:

           MeterRegistry registry = Metrics.globalRegistry;

### Gauges

Gauges measure a value that can increase or decrease over time, like the speedometer on a car. Gauges can be useful when monitoring the statistics for a cache or collection.

Gauge values are sampled rather than set; there is no record of how the value associated with a gauge may have changed between measurements.

Micrometer provides a few mechanisms for creating gauges:

1. Wrap construction of a collection to monitor its size:

       List<String> list = registry.gaugeCollectionSize("fantastic.list", (1)
               Tags.of("key", "value") // optional (2)
               new ArrayList<>());  (3)

   1 | Create a new gauge, `list.size`, using the dot-separated convention.
   2 | Associate tags with the gauge. Gauge tag values are constant, and must be assigned at construction time.
   3 | Construct the array list whose size should be observed.

2. Use a builder to create a Gauge that will call a function:

       Gauge.builder("jvm.threads.peak", threadBean, ThreadMXBean::getPeakThreadCount) (1)
           .baseUnit(BaseUnits.THREADS) // optional (2)
           .description("The peak live thread count...") // optional (3)
           .tags("key", "value") // optional (4)
           .register(registry); (5)

   1 | Create a new gauge called `jvm.threads.peak` that will call `getPeakThreadCount` on `threadBean`, an instance of `ThreadMXBean`
   2 | Define the base unit, see BaseUnits.java for predefined values.
   3 | Provide a description of the Gauge
   4 | Associate tags with the gauge
   5 | Register the Gauge with the MeterRegistry

See Gauges in the Micrometer documentation for more information and examples. Of note are two special cases: `TimeGauge` for measuring time, and a `MultiGauge` for reporting several criteria together.

| Micrometer does not create strong references to the objects it observes by default. Depending on the registry, Micrometer either omits gauges that observe objects that have been garbage-collected entirely or uses `NaN` (not a number) as the observed value.

When should you use a gauge? Only use a gauge when you can’t use something else. Gauges can be less straight-forward to use than other meters. If what you are measuring can be counted (because the value always increments), use a counter instead.

### Counters

Counters measure values that only increase. Use one of the methods below to create a counter.

1. Use a convenience method on the `MeterRegistry`:

       registry.counter("example.prime.number", "type", "prime");  (1) (2)

   1 | `example.prime.number` is the counter name.
   2 | `type` is a dimensional tag with value `prime`.

2. Use `Counter.builder` to provide a description and units:

       Counter.builder("count.me") (1)
           .baseUnit("beans")            // optional (2)
           .description("a description") // optional (3)
           .tags("region", "test")       // optional (4)
           .register(registry);

   1 | Create a new counter called `count.me`
   2 | Define a custom base unit. See BaseUnits.java for predefined values.
   3 | Provide a description for the counter
   4 | Associate tags with the counter

3. Annotate a method

       @Counted(value = "counted.method", extraTags = { "extra", "annotated" })  (1) (2)
       void countThisMethod(){
           ...
       }

   1 | A CDI interceptor will create and register a counter called `counted.method`
   2 | The interceptor-created counter will have the "extra" dimension tag with value "annotated"

See Counters in the Micrometer documentation for more information and examples, including the less common `FunctionCounter` that can be used to measure the result returned by an always increasing function.

When should you use a counter? Use a counter if you are doing something that can not be either timed or summarized. If you want to understand more about how a value is changing, a timer (when the base unit of measurement is time) or a distribution summary might be more appropriate.

### Summaries and Timers

Timers and distribution summaries in Micrometer are very similar. Both meters record data, and can capture additional histogram or percentile data. While distribution summaries can be use for arbitrary types of data, timers are optimized for measuring time and durations.

Timers and distribution summaries store at least three values internally:

- the aggregation of all recorded values as a sum

- the number of values that have been recorded (a counter)

- the highest value seen within a decaying time window (a gauge).

#### Create a distribution summary

Use a distribution summary to record a value, not time. Use one of the following methods to create a distribution summary.

1. Use a convenience method on the `MeterRegistry`:

       registry.summary("bytes.written", "protocol", "http");  (1) (2)

   1 | `bytes.written` is the summary name
   2 | `protocol` is a dimensional tag with value `http`.

2. Use `DistributionSummary.builder` to provide a description and units:

       DistributionSummary.builder("response.size") (1)
           .baseUnit("bytes")            // optional (2)
           .description("a description") // optional (3)
           .tags("protocol", "http")     // optional (4)
           .register(registry);

   1 | Create a new distribution summary called `response.size`
   2 | Use `bytes` as a base unit. See BaseUnits.java for predefined values.
   3 | Provide a description for the distribution summary
   4 | Associate tags with the distribution summary

#### Create a timer

Timers measure short-duration latencies and how often they occur. Negative values are not supported, and longer durations could cause an overflow of the total time (Long.MAX_VALUE nanoseconds (292.3 years)).

Use one of the following methods to construct a timer.

1. Use a convenience method on the `MeterRegistry`:

       registry.timer("fabric.selection", "primary", "blue");  (1) (2)

   1 | `fabric.selection` is the summary name
   2 | `primary` is a dimensional tag with value `blue`.

2. Use `Timer.builder` to provide a description and units:

       Timer.builder("my.timer")         (1) (2)
           .description("description ") // optional (3)
           .tags("region", "test")      // optional (4)
           .register(registry);

   1 | Create a new timer called `my.timer`
   2 | Timers measure time, and will convert it into the units required by the monitoring backend
   3 | Provide a description for the distribution summary
   4 | Associate tags with the timer

3. Annotate a method

       @Timed(value = "call", extraTags = {"region", "test"})  (1) (2)

   1 | A CDI interceptor will create and register a timer called `call`
   2 | The interceptor-created timer will have the "region" dimension tag with value "test"

#### Measure durations with Timers

Micrometer provides the following convenience mechanisms for recording durations.

1. Wrap the invocation of a `Runnable`:

       timer.record(() -> noReturnValue());

2. Wrap the invocation of a `Callable`:

       timer.recordCallable(() -> returnValue());

3. Create a wrapped `Runnable` for repeated invocation:

       Runnable r = timer.wrap(() -> noReturnValue());

4. Create a wrapped `Callable` for repeated invocation:

       Callable c = timer.wrap(() -> returnValue());

5. Use a `Sample` for more complex code paths:

       Sample sample = Timer.start(registry); (1)

       doStuff; (2)

       sample.stop(registry.timer("my.timer", "response", response.status())); (3)

   1 | We create a sample, which records the start of the timer.
   2 | The sample can be passed along as context
   3 | We can choose the timer when the sample is stopped. This example uses a response status as a tag identifying the timer, which won’t be known until processing is complete.

#### Histograms and percentiles

Both timers and distribution summaries can be configured to emit additional statistics, like histogram data, precomputed percentiles, or service level objective (SLO) boundaries. See Timers and Distribution Summaries in the Micrometer documentation for more information and examples, including memory footprint estimation for both types.

| The count, sum, and histogram data associated with timers and distribution summaries can be re-aggregated across dimensions (or across a series of instances). Precomputed percentile values can not. Percentiles are unique to each dataset (the 90th percentile of this collection of measurements).

## Automatically generated metrics

The Micrometer extension automatically times HTTP server requests. Following Prometheus naming conventions for timers, look for `http_server_requests_seconds_count`, `http_server_requests_seconds_sum`, and `http_server_requests_seconds_max`. Dimensional labels have been added for the requested uri, the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.), the status code (200, 302, 404, etc.), and a more general outcome field.

Ignoring endpoints

You can disable measurement of HTTP endpoints using the `quarkus.micrometer.binder.http-server.ignore-patterns` property. This property accepts a comma-separated list of simple regex match patterns identifying URI paths that should be ignored. For example, setting `quarkus.micrometer.binder.http-server.ignore-patterns=/example/prime/[0-9]+` will ignore a request to `http://localhost:8080/example/prime/7919`. A request to `http://localhost:8080/example/gauge/7919` would still be measured.

URI templates

The micrometer extension will make a best effort at representing URIs containing path parameters in templated form. Using examples from above, a request to `http://localhost:8080/example/prime/7919` should appear as an attribute of `http_server_requests_seconds_*` metrics with a value of `uri=/example/prime/{number}`.

Use the `quarkus.micrometer.binder.http-server.match-patterns` property if the correct URL can not be determined. This property accepts a comma-separated list defining an association between a simple regex match pattern and a replacement string. For example, setting `quarkus.micrometer.binder.http-server.match-patterns=/example/prime/=/example/{jellybeans}` would use the value `/example/{jellybeans}` for the uri attribute any time the requested uri matches `/example/prime/[0-9]`.

Exported metrics format

By default, the metrics are exported using the Prometheus format `application/openmetrics-text`, you can revert to the former format by specifying the `Accept` request header to `text/plain` (`curl -H "Accept: text/plain" localhost:8080/q/metrics/`).

## Customizing Micrometer

Quarkus provides a variety of way to customize Micrometer.

### Use `MeterFilter` to customize emitted tags and metrics

Micrometer uses `MeterFilter` instances to customize the metrics emitted by `MeterRegistry` instances. The Micrometer extension will detect `MeterFilter` CDI beans and use them when initializing `MeterRegistry` instances.

    @Singleton
    public class CustomConfiguration {

        @ConfigProperty(name = "deployment.env")
        String deploymentEnv;

        /** Define common tags that apply only to a Prometheus Registry */
        @Produces
        @Singleton
        @MeterFilterConstraint(applyTo = PrometheusMeterRegistry.class)
        public MeterFilter configurePrometheusRegistries() {
            return MeterFilter.commonTags(Arrays.asList(
                    Tag.of("registry", "prometheus")));
        }

        /** Define common tags that apply globally */
        @Produces
        @Singleton
        public MeterFilter configureAllRegistries() {
            return MeterFilter.commonTags(Arrays.asList(
                    Tag.of("env", deploymentEnv)));
        }

        /** Enable histogram buckets for a specific timer */
        @Produces
        @Singleton
        public MeterFilter enableHistogram() {
            return new MeterFilter() {
                @Override
                public DistributionStatisticConfig configure(Meter.Id id, DistributionStatisticConfig config) {
                    if(id.getName().startsWith("myservice")) {
                        return DistributionStatisticConfig.builder()
                            .percentiles(0.5, 0.95)     // median and 95th percentile, not aggregable
                            .percentilesHistogram(true) // histogram buckets (e.g. prometheus histogram_quantile)
                            .build()
                            .merge(config);
                    }
                    return config;
                }
            };
        }
    }

In this example, a singleton CDI bean will produce two different `MeterFilter` beans. One will be applied only to Prometheus `MeterRegistry` instances (using the `@MeterFilterConstraint` qualifier), and another will be applied to all `MeterRegistry` instances. An application configuration property is also injected and used as a tag value. Additional examples of MeterFilters can be found in the official documentation.

### Use `HttpServerMetricsTagsContributor` for server HTTP requests

By providing CDI beans that implement `io.quarkus.micrometer.runtime.HttpServerMetricsTagsContributor`, user code can contribute arbitrary tags based on the details of HTTP request and responses.

| When creating tags using this interface, it’s important to limit the cardinality of the values, otherwise there is a risk of severely degrading the metrics system’s capacity.

### Use `HttpClientMetricsTagsContributor` for client HTTP requests

By providing CDI beans that implement `io.quarkus.micrometer.runtime.HttpClientMetricsTagsContributor`, user code can contribute arbitrary tags based on the details of HTTP request

### Use `MeterRegistryCustomizer` for arbitrary customizations to meter registries

By providing CDI beans that implement `io.quarkus.micrometer.runtime.MeterRegistryCustomizer` user code has the change to change the configuration of any `MeterRegistry` that has been activated. Unless an implementation is annotated with `@io.quarkus.micrometer.runtime.MeterRegistryCustomizerConstraint`, the customization applies to all `MeterRegistry` instances.

## Does Micrometer support annotations?

Micrometer does define two annotations, `@Counted` and `@Timed`, that can be added to methods. The `@Timed` annotation will wrap the execution of a method and will emit the following tags in addition to any tags defined on the annotation itself: class, method, and exception (either "none" or the simple class name of a detected exception).

Parameters to `@Counted` and `@Timed` can be annotated with `@MeterTag` to dynamically assign meaningful tag values.

`MeterTag.resolver` can be used to extract a tag from a method parameter, by creating a bean implementing `io.micrometer.common.annotation.ValueResolver` and referring to this class: `@MeterTag(resolver=CustomResolver.class)`

`MeterTag.expression` is also supported, but you have to implement the evaluation of the expression by creating a bean implementing `io.micrometer.common.annotation.ValueExpressionResolver` that can evaluate expressions.

    enum Currency { USD, EUR }

    @Singleton
    class EnumOrdinalResolver implements ValueResolver {
        @Override
        public String resolve(Object parameter) {
            if(parameter instanceof Enum) {
                return String.valueOf(((Enum<?>) parameter).ordinal());
            }
            return null;
        }
    }

    @Singleton
    public class MyExpressionResolver implements ValueExpressionResolver {
        @Override
        public String resolve(String expression, Object parameter) {
            return someParser.parse(expression).evaluate(parameter);
        }
    }

    // tags = type=with_enum, currency=${currency.toString()}
    @Timed(value="time_something", extraTags = {"type", "with_enum"})
    public Something calculateSomething(@MeterTag Currency currency) { ... }

    // tags = type=with_enum, the_currency=${currency.toString()}
    @Timed(value="time_something", extraTags = {"type", "with_enum"})
    public Something calculateSomething(@MeterTag(key="the_currency") Currency currency) { ... }

    // tags = type=with_enum, currency=${currency.ordinal()}
    @Timed(value="time_something", extraTags = {"type", "with_enum"})
    public Something calculateSomething(@MeterTag(resolver=EnumOrdinalResolver.class) Currency currency) { ... }

    // tags = type=with_enum, currency=${currency.ordinal()}
    @Timed(value="time_something", extraTags = {"type", "with_enum"})
    public Something calculateSomething(@MeterTag(expression="currency.ordinal()") Currency currency) { ... }

| Provided tag values MUST BE of LOW-CARDINALITY. High-cardinality values can lead to performance and storage issues in your metrics backend (a "cardinality explosion"). Tag values should not use end-user data, since those could be high-cardinality.

Many methods, like REST endpoint methods or Vert.x Routes, are counted and timed by the micrometer extension out of the box.

## Support for the MicroProfile Metrics API

If you use the MicroProfile Metrics API in your application, the Micrometer extension will create an adaptive layer to map those metrics into the Micrometer registry. Note that naming conventions between the two systems is different, so the metrics that are emitted when using MP Metrics with Micrometer will change.

Use a `MeterFilter` to remap names or tags according to your conventions.

    @Produces
    @Singleton
    public MeterFilter renameApplicationMeters() {
        final String targetMetric = MPResourceClass.class.getName() + ".mpAnnotatedMethodName";

        return MeterFilter() {
            @Override
            public Meter.Id map(Meter.Id id) {
                if (id.getName().equals(targetMetric)) {
                    // Drop the scope tag (MP Registry type: application, vendor, base)
                    List<Tag> tags = id.getTags().stream().filter(x -> !"scope".equals(x.getKey()))
                            .collect(Collectors.toList());
                    // rename the metric
                    return id.withName("my.metric.name").replaceTags(tags);
                }
                return id;
            }
        };
    }

Ensure the following dependency is present if you require the MicroProfile Metrics API:

pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.microprofile.metrics</groupId>
        <artifactId>microprofile-metrics-api</artifactId>
    </dependency>

build.gradle

    implementation("org.eclipse.microprofile.metrics:microprofile-metrics-api")

| The MP Metrics API compatibility layer may be moved to a different extension in the future.

## Management interface

By default, the metrics are exposed on the main HTTP server.

You can expose them on a separate network interface and port by setting `quarkus.management.enabled=true` in your application configuration. Note that this property is a build-time property. The value cannot be overridden at runtime.

If you enable the management interface without customizing the management network interface and port, the metrics are exposed under: `http://0.0.0.0:9000/q/metrics`.

You can configure the path of each exposed format using:

    quarkus.micrometer.export.json.enabled=true (1)
    quarkus.micrometer.export.json.path=metrics/json
    quarkus.micrometer.export.prometheus.path=metrics/prometheus

1 | Enable JSON metrics

With such a configuration, the JSON metrics will be available from `http://0.0.0.0:9000/q/metrics/json`. The Prometheus metrics will be available from `http://0.0.0.0:9000/q/metrics/prometheus`.

| About the Duration format To write duration values, use the standard `java.time.Duration` format. See the Duration#parse() Java API documentation for more information. You can also use a simplified format, starting with a number: If the value is only a number, it represents time in seconds. If the value is a number followed by `ms`, it represents time in milliseconds. In other cases, the simplified format is translated to the `java.time.Duration` format for parsing: If the value is a number followed by `h`, `m`, or `s`, it is prefixed with `PT`. If the value is a number followed by `d`, it is prefixed with `P`.
