= Quarkus - Micrometer Metrics

include::./attributes.adoc[]

This guide demonstrates how your Quarkus application can utilize the Micrometer
metrics library for runtime and application metrics.


== Prerequisites

To complete this guide, you need:

* less than 15 minutes
* an IDE
* JDK 1.8+ installed with `JAVA_HOME` configured appropriately
* Apache Maven {maven-version}

== Architecture

In this example, we build a very simple microservice which offers one REST endpoint and that determines
if a number is prime.

== Solution

We recommend that you follow the instructions in the next sections and create the application step by step.
However, you can go right to the completed example.

Clone the Git repository: `git clone {quickstarts-clone-url}`, or download an {quickstarts-archive-url}[archive].

The solution is located in the `micrometer-quickstart` {quickstarts-tree-url}/micrometer-quickstart[directory].

== Creating the Maven Project

First, we need a new project. Create a new project with the following command:

[source, subs=attributes+]
----
mvn io.quarkus:quarkus-maven-plugin:{quarkus-version}:create \
-DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
-DprojectArtifactId=micrometer-quickstart \
-Dextensions="micrometer"
cd micrometer-quickstart
----

This command generates a Maven project, that imports the `micrometer` extension as a dependency.

If you already have your Quarkus project configured, you can add the `micrometer` extension
to your project by running the following command in your project base directory:

[source,bash]
----
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="micrometer"
----

This will add the following to your `pom.xml`:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
<artifactId>quarkus-micrometer</artifactId>
</dependency>
----

You should also add a micrometer dependency for the registry of your choosing, e.g.

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
<groupId>io.micrometer</groupId>
<artifactId>micrometer-registry-prometheus</artifactId>
</dependency>
----

== Writing the application

The application consists of a single class that implements an algorithm for checking whether a number is prime.
This algorithm is exposed over a REST interface. With the micrometer extension enabled, metrics for all http
server requests are collected automatically.

We do want to add a few other metrics to demonstrate how those types work:

* A counter will be incremented for every prime number discovered
* A gauge will store the highest prime number discovered
* A timer will record the time spent testing if ia number is prime.

[source,java]

package org.acme.micrometer;
import io.micrometer.core.instrument.MeterRegistry;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.LongAccumulator;
import java.util.function.Supplier;
@Path("/")
public class PrimeNumberResource {
private final LongAccumulator highestPrime = new LongAccumulator(Long::max, 0);
private final MeterRegistry registry;
PrimeNumberResource(MeterRegistry registry) {
this.registry = registry;
// Create a gauge that uses the highestPrimeNumberSoFar method
// to obtain the highest observed prime number
registry.gauge("prime.number.max", this,
PrimeNumberResource::highestObservedPrimeNumber);
}
@GET
@Path("/{number}")
@Produces("text/plain")
public String checkIfPrime(@PathParam("number") int number) {
if (number < 1) {
return "Only natural numbers can be prime numbers.";
}
if (number == 1) {
return "1 is not prime.";
}
if (number == 2) {
return "2 is prime.";
}
if (number % 2 == 0) {
return number + " is not prime, it is divisible by 2.";
}
Supplier<String> supplier = () -> {
for (int i = 3; i < Math.floor(Math.sqrt(number)) + 1; i = i + 2) {
if (number % i == 0) {
return number + " is not prime, is divisible by " + i + ".";
}
}
highestPrime.accumulate(number);
return number + " is prime.";
};
return registry.timer("prime.number.test").wrap(supplier).get();
}
/**
* This method is called by the registered {@code highest.prime.number} gauge.
* @return the highest observed prime value
*/
long highestObservedPrimeNumber() {
return highestPrime.get();
}
}
----

== Running and using the application

To run the microservice in dev mode, use `./mvnw clean compile quarkus:dev`

=== Generate some values for the metrics

First, ask the endpoint whether some numbers are prime numbers.

[source,shell]
----
curl localhost:8080/350
----

The application will respond that 350 is not a prime number because it can be divided by 2.

Now for some large prime number so that the test takes a bit more time:

[source,shell]
----
curl localhost:8080/629521085409773
----

The application will respond that 629521085409773 is a prime number.
If you want, try some more calls with numbers of your choice.

=== Review the generated metrics

To view the metrics, execute `curl localhost:8080/metrics/`

Prometheus-formatted metrics will be returned in plain text in no particular order.

The application above has only one custom gauge that measures the time
spent determining whether or not a number is prime. The micrometer extension
enables additional system, jvm, and http metrics. A subset of the collected metrics
are shown below.

Note that metrics appear lazily, you often won't see any data for your endpoint until
something tries to access it, etc.
