This example shows how to use Camel with Micrometer Observation to create observations for incoming and outgoing Camel messages.
For Metrics we are using Micrometer Core, for Tracing we’re using Micrometer Tracing with Brave.
The example includes four sub maven modules that implement
-
client
-
service1
-
service2
-
loggingtracer
Where client → service1 → service2 using HTTP.
Then using three different shells and run service1 and service2 before the client. These services use an annotation CamelObservation to indicate that the service should be traced.
$ cd service1
$ mvn compile spring-boot:run
When service1 is ready then start service2
$ cd service2
$ mvn compile spring-boot:run
And then start the client that calls service1 every 30 seconds.
$ cd client
$ mvn compile spring-boot:run
The client application explicitly instantiates and initializes the Micrometer Observation Tracer with the CamelContext.
The shells will show SPAN FINISHED messages indicating what spans have been reported from the client and two services.
You should get a trace view similar to this one
You will get Camel related metrics similar to these
Example for server application
Meter name [POST], type [TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='COUNT', value=1.0}, Measurement{statistic='TOTAL_TIME', value=3.078740245}, Measurement{statistic='MAX', value=3.078740245}]
Meter name [POST.active], type [LONG_TASK_TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='ACTIVE_TASKS', value=0.0}, Measurement{statistic='DURATION', value=0.0}]
Meter name [camel.component], type [TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='COUNT', value=1.0}, Measurement{statistic='TOTAL_TIME', value=1.321830243}, Measurement{statistic='MAX', value=1.321830243}]
Meter name [camel.component.active], type [LONG_TASK_TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='ACTIVE_TASKS', value=0.0}, Measurement{statistic='DURATION', value=0.0}]
Example for client application
Meter name [trigger], type [TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='COUNT', value=1.0}, Measurement{statistic='TOTAL_TIME', value=3.168954513}, Measurement{statistic='MAX', value=3.168954513}]
Meter name [trigger.active], type [LONG_TASK_TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='ACTIVE_TASKS', value=0.0}, Measurement{statistic='DURATION', value=0.0}]
Meter name [camel.component], type [TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='COUNT', value=1.0}, Measurement{statistic='TOTAL_TIME', value=3.154452898}, Measurement{statistic='MAX', value=3.154452898}]
Meter name [camel.component.active], type [LONG_TASK_TIMER] - measurements [Measurement{statistic='ACTIVE_TASKS', value=0.0}, Measurement{statistic='DURATION', value=0.0}]
