A little story

@nicolas_frankel

Non-Functional Requirements

• Monitoring

–Health checks

–Metrics

@nicolas_frankel

Non-Functional Requirements

• Configuration

– Beans

– Property values

– Controller mappings

– Etc.

@nicolas_frankel

Enough talk, time for a demo

@nicolas_frankel

Dropwizard Metrics

• A metrics model

• Exporters to backends

• And more…

@nicolas_frankel

Simple metrics

• Gauge

– Simple value

• Counter

– Incrementable gauge

@nicolas_frankel

Dropwizard reporters

• JMX

• Graphite

• (HTTP)

@nicolas_frankel

jconsole

• JMX-compliant GUI for monitoring JVM

@nicolas_frankel

@nicolas_frankel

Graphite

• Store numeric time-series data

• Render graphs of this data on demand

@nicolas_frankel

For development

• Either define the 2 reporters

– Set @ConditionalOnMissingBean

– Use a "Development" profile

• Or define only the JMX reporter

– In production, use JMXTrans

@nicolas_frankel

Metrics are not only technical

@nicolas_frankel

Health checks

• A good way to monitor your application

• Each check wraps a dependency

– e.g. a datasource

@nicolas_frankel

Health checks

• Each check returns an Health object

–Status UP or DOWN

– If not, possibly with details

@nicolas_frankel

Health check endpoint

• /health aggregates all checks

• Health are objects

– Serialized in JSON

• If only one is down, the HTTP code is set to 5xx

@nicolas_frankel

Health check

• Bean must implementHealthIndicator

• Doesn’t use DropwizardHealthCheck
