Chapter 7. Develop Micrometer application for JBoss EAP 7.1. Integrating Micrometer metrics in JBoss EAP Using Micrometer, you can monitor and collect application metrics in JBoss EAP. Micrometer support provides the exposure of application metrics. The export process is PUSH-based, ensuring that metrics are sent to an OpenTelemetry Collector. Prerequisites You have installed JDK 17. You have installed the Maven 3.6 or later version. For more information, see Downloading Apache Maven . You have installed Docker. For more information, see Get Docker . Optional: You have podman installed on your system. Use the latest podman version available on supported RHEL. For more information, see Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0 Supported Configurations . The configure-micrometer.cli file is available in the application root directory. Note The example in this section, including how to use the configure-micrometer.cli file, is based on the Micrometer Quickstart . Procedure Open a terminal. Start JBoss EAP as a standalone server by using the following script: Note For Windows server, use the <EAP_HOME> \bin\standalone.bat script. Open a new terminal. Navigate to the application root directory. Run the following command to configure the server: Note For Windows server, use the <EAP_HOME> \bin\jboss-cli.bat script. Replace <EAP_HOME> with the path to your server. Expected output: Reload the server with the following management command: Create a configuration file named docker-compose.yaml with the following content: Create a configuration file named otel-collector-config.yaml with the following content: Start the collector server instance by running the following command: Note You can also use Podman instead of Docker. If you choose Podman, then use the USD podman-compose up command instead of USD docker-compose up . If Docker or Podman is not supported in your environment, then see Otel Collector documentation for guidance on installing and running the OpenTelemetry Collector. In the RootResource class, see how the MeterRegistry is injected into your class to ensure proper setup before registering the meters. Inspect the checkIfPrime() method body to see how to use the registered meters within your application logic. For example: Navigate to the application root directory. Syntax Example, in reference to the Micrometer Quickstart: Compile and deploy the application with the following command: This deploys micrometer/target/micrometer.war to the running server. Verification Access the application by using a web browser or you can run the following command. Expected output:

Commands:
<EAP_HOME> /bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-microprofile.xml
<EAP_HOME> /bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=configure-micrometer.cli
The batch executed successfully process-state: reload-required
<EAP_HOME> /bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --commands=reload
