Monitoring Payara / Glassfish with Prometheus 📎
java.util.function.Function interface)
which can be used for extraction of arbitrary monitoring sources. e.g. to convert GlassFish's / Payara's the "Average request processing time" metric: curl http://localhost:4848/monitoring/domain/server/http-service/server/request/processingtime.json
available under JSON:
{"message":"","command":"Monitoring Data","exit_code":"SUCCESS","extraProperties":
{"entity":{"processingtime":{"unit":"millisecond","lastsampletime":1511693682663,"name":"ProcessingTime","count":2,
"description":"Average request processing time","starttime":1511693222100}},"childResources":{}}}
The following script extracts the value of the "count" key, and provides additional metadata for prometheus.io metric (avgRequestProcessingTime.js):
function apply(input) {
var metric = JSON.parse(input);
var value = metric.extraProperties.entity.processingtime.count;
var output = {
suffix: "avg",
units: "ms",
component: "requestprocessingtime",
application: "problematic",
value: value
};
return JSON.stringify(output);
}
A payara with installed firehose (28 kB Thin WAR) ships as docker image from docklands.
The image can be started with: docker run -d -p 4848:4848 -p 8090:8090 --name payara-firehose airhacks/payara-firehose. The port 8090 is opened in addition to 8080 for monitoring purposes only.
The following PUT-request sets the monitoring targets and uploads the extractor script at the same time:
curl -i -XPUT -H"Content-type: text/plain" -H"uri: http://localhost:4848/monitoring/domain/server/http-service/server/request/processingtime.json"
--upload-file avgRequestProcessingTime.js http://localhost:8090/firehose/resources/configurations/avgProcessingTime
Now: curl http://localhost:8090/firehose/resources/metrics should respond with something like:
problematic_requestprocessingtime_ms_avg 30
firehose acts as a gateway, so you only have to setup a single target at prometheus side:
(...)
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'firehose'
scrape_interval: 5s
metrics_path: '/firehose/resources/metrics'
static_configs:
- targets: ['payara-firehose:8090']
