JarCasting
ZMON source code on GitHub is no longer in active development. Zalando will no longer actively review issues or merge pull-requests.
ZMON is still being used at Zalando and serves us well for many purposes. We are now deeper into our observability journey and understand better that we need other telemetry sources and tools to elevate our understanding of the systems we operate. We support the OpenTelemetry initiative and recommended others starting their journey to begin there.
If members of the community are interested in continuing developing ZMON, consider forking it. Please review the licence before you do.
Uses Micrometer for collecting core metrics (e.g. jvm, cpu, etc.) wherever applicable as well as custom metrics for your application.
Security
Add security to your management endpoints or move management endpoints to a different non-public port.
management:
port: 7979
Usage
Add the following dependency to your spring-boot project.
Maven Dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.zalando.zmon</groupId>
<artifactId>zmon-actuator</artifactId>
<version>${version}</version>
</dependency>
You need to have the base actuator dependency in place, too.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
Spring Boot with Jersey vs SpringMVC
See the Jersey module provided and the example-application.
Important is to use at least the specified Jersey versions as defined in the POM. These will be included in spring boot 1.3+
Metrics endpoint
Navigating to /actuator/metrics displays a list of available meter names.
{
"names":[
"http.server.requests",
"jvm.buffer.count",
"jvm.buffer.memory.used",
"jvm.buffer.total.capacity",
"jvm.classes.loaded",
"jvm.classes.unloaded",
"jvm.gc.live.data.size",
"jvm.gc.max.data.size",
"jvm.gc.memory.allocated",
"jvm.gc.memory.promoted",
"jvm.gc.pause",
"jvm.memory.committed",
"jvm.memory.max",
"jvm.memory.used",
"jvm.threads.daemon",
"jvm.threads.live",
"jvm.threads.peak",
"jvm.threads.states",
"logback.events",
"process.cpu.usage",
"process.files.max",
"process.files.open",
"process.start.time",
"process.uptime",
"system.cpu.count",
"system.cpu.usage",
"system.load.average.1m",
"tomcat.sessions.active.current",
"tomcat.sessions.active.max",
"tomcat.sessions.alive.max",
"tomcat.sessions.created",
"tomcat.sessions.expired",
"tomcat.sessions.rejected",
"zmon.response.200.GET.hello",
"zmon.response.503.GET.hello"
]
}
You can drill down to view information about a particular meter by providing its name as a selector. For example: /actuator/metrics/zmon.response.200.GET.hello results in the following:
{
"name":"zmon.response.200.GET.hello",
"description":null,
"baseUnit":"seconds",
"measurements":[
{
"statistic":"COUNT",
"value":67.0
},
{
"statistic":"TOTAL_TIME",
"value":0.406
},
{
"statistic":"MAX",
"value":0.294
}
],
"availableTags":[
]
}
