Micrometer

Getting started with resilience4j-micrometer

Resilience4j provides a module for Micrometer which supports most popular monitoring systems like InfluxDB or Prometheus.
The module expects that micrometer-core is already provided at runtime. Spring Reactor is not a transitive dependency.

repositories {
    jCenter()
}

dependencies {
  compile "io.github.resilience4j:resilience4j-micrometer:${resilience4jVersion}"
}

CircuitBreaker Metrics

The following code snippet shows how to bind CircuitBreaker metrics to a MeterRegistry. It binds all CircuitBreaker instances at once and registers event consumers to dynamically bind newly created instances.

MeterRegistry meterRegistry = new SimpleMeterRegistry();
CircuitBreakerRegistry circuitBreakerRegistry =
  CircuitBreakerRegistry.ofDefaults();
CircuitBreaker foo = circuitBreakerRegistry
  .circuitBreaker("backendA");
CircuitBreaker boo = circuitBreakerRegistry
  .circuitBreaker("backendB");
