Micrometer Documentation
Vendor-neutral application observability facade
Micrometer provides a simple facade over the instrumentation clients for the most popular observability systems, allowing you to instrument your JVM-based application code without vendor lock-in. Think SLF4J, but for observability.
Dimensional Metrics
Micrometer provides vendor-neutral interfaces for timers, gauges, counters, distribution summaries, and long task timers with a dimensional data model that, when paired with a dimensional monitoring system, allows for efficient access to a particular named metric with the ability to drill down across its dimensions.
Pre-configured Bindings
Out-of-the-box instrumentation of caches, the class loader, garbage collection, processor utilization, thread pools, and more tailored to actionable insight.
Integrated into Spring
Micrometer is the instrumentation library powering the delivery of application observability from Spring Boot applications.
Support for popular observability systems
As an instrumentation facade, Micrometer allows you to instrument your code with dimensional metrics with a vendor-neutral interface and decide on the observability system as a last step. Instrumenting your core library code with Micrometer allows the libraries to be included in applications that ship data to different backends. Contains built-in support for AppOptics, Azure Monitor, Netflix Atlas, CloudWatch, Datadog, Dynatrace, Elastic, Ganglia, Graphite, Humio, Influx/Telegraf, JMX, KairosDB, New Relic, OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), Prometheus, SignalFx, Google Stackdriver, StatsD, and Wavefront.
