MicroProfile® Metrics 3.0

Metrics 3.0

Description

This is the release for MP Metrics 3.0, with the following details.

A full list of changes delivered in the 3.0 release can be found at MicroProfile Metrics 3.0 Milestone.

Incompatible Changes

  • Removed everything related to reusability from the API code. All metrics are now considered reusable.

  • CDI producers annotated with @Metric no longer trigger metric registration. If these metrics should be registered, it must be done differently (for example using the MetricRegistry methods)

  • MetricRegistry changed from abstract class to interface

  • Changed Timer.update(long duration, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit) to Timer.update(java.time.Duration duration)

  • Removed MetadataBuilder.withOptional* methods, the remaining with* methods do accept null value (considered not present) except withName which does not accept null or ""

  • Changed Metadata.getDescription() and Metadata.getUnit() to return String instead of Optional<String> and added Metadata.description() and Metadata.unit() that return Optional<String>

API/SPI Changes

  • Updated dependencies scopes and versions to align with Jakarta EE 8

  • MetricRegistry changed from abstract class to interface

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getType() method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.counter(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.concurrentGauge(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.gauge(String, Object, Function, Tag[]) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.gauge(MetricID, Object, Function) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.gauge(Metadata, Object, Function, Tag[]) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.gauge(String, Supplier, Tag[]) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.gauge(MetricID, Supplier) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.gauge(Metadata), Supplier, Tag[]) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.histogram(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.meter(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.timer(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.simpleTimer(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getMetric(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getMetric(MetricID metricID, Class) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getCounter(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getConcurrentGauge(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getGauge(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getHistogram(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getMeter(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getTimer(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getSimpleTimer(MetricID) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getMetadata(String) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getMetrics(MetricFilter) method

  • Added the MetricRegistry.getMetrics(Class, MetricFilter) method

  • Added SimpleTimer.getMinTimeDuration() and SimpleTimer.getMaxTimeDuration() methods which return a java.time.Duration object (#523)

  • Timer class updated (#524)

    • Changed Timer.update(long duration, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit) to Timer.update(java.time.Duration duration)

    • Added Timer.getElapsedTime() which returns java.time.Duration

  • Removed MetadataBuilder.withOptional* methods

  • Global tags and _app tag are no longer handled automatically by the MetricID class, the implementation is expected to add them by itself, for example during metric export

  • Added the Histogram.getSum() which returns long (#597)

Functional Changes

  • Simple Timer metrics now track the highest and lowest recorded timing duration of the previous completed minute (#523)

  • Timer now exposes total elapsed time duration as a metric value. (#524)

  • Clarified that the existing REST metric REST.request will not monitor and track a REST request to a REST endpoint if an unmapped exception occurs.

  • Introduced a new base REST metric REST.request.unmappedException.total that counts the occurrences of unmapped exceptions for each REST endpoint (#533)

  • Histogram now exposes the total sum of recorded values as a sum value (#597)

    • In JSON format it is exposed as a sum value

    • In OpenMetrics format it is exposed as a sum value under the summary type

  • Timer now exposes the elapsedTime metric value as sum under the summary type in OpenMetrics format (#597)
