As I introduced Spring Boot’s Actuator tool in the previous tutorial<\/a>, it allows us to monitor our application in a production environment. You can integrate Spring Boot Actuator with Prometheus to query application-related information. How do we do that? Let’s find out together in this tutorial!<\/p>\n

First, I will create a new Spring Boot project with Actuator, Web, and Prometheus dependencies as an example:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Check the project’s pom.xml file, and you’ll find a Micrometer dependency as follows:<\/p>\n

<dependency>\r\n  <groupId>io.micrometer<\/groupId>\r\n  <artifactId>micrometer-registry-prometheus<\/artifactId>\r\n  <scope>runtime<\/scope>\r\n<\/dependency><\/pre>\n
This dependency is used to bridge and format the micrometer’s metrics information according to the Prometheus format. This allows Prometheus to understand and query this information using Prometheus.<\/p>\n
Enable all Actuator endpoints using properties:<\/p>\n
management:\r\n  endpoints:\r\n    web:\r\n      exposure:\r\n        include: '*'<\/pre>\n
go to the address http:\/\/localhost:8080\/actuator, check the endpoint information, and you will see an endpoint related to Prometheus as follows:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Go to the endpoint http:\/\/localhost:8080\/actuator\/prometheus, and you will see the application’s metrics exposed:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
and we can configure Prometheus to capture this information!<\/p>\n
I’ve already shown you how to install Prometheus using Docker Compose in the previous tutorial<\/a>. To enable Prometheus to capture the information exposed by the Actuator above, add a `scape_config` to your Prometheus configuration file as follows:<\/p>\n
scrape_configs:\r\n  - job_name: 'actuator'\r\n    scrape_interval: 15s\r\n    metrics_path: '\/actuator\/prometheus'\r\n    static_configs:\r\n      - targets: [ 'host.docker.internal:8080' ]<\/pre>\n
With the above configuration, I set the job name to “actuator”. Every 15 seconds, Prometheus will capture information using the metric_path ‘\/actuator\/prometheus’. Since I’m running the example application on my local machine and Prometheus is running using Docker Compose, I configured the target to use the host name “host.docker.internal” with port 8080.<\/p>\n
Running Prometheus again, you will see the information of the example application in the Prometheus Target section as follows:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If you try querying “logback_events_total” using Prometheus, you will see the following result:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n
