Micrometer

Micrometer is an open-source instrumentation framework for JVM-based application metrics. By adding Dynatrace support to Micrometer, you get intelligent observability and automatic root cause analysis for 17+ pre-instrumented JVM-based frameworks and servers.

This is intended for users who want to:

• Ingest pre-instrumented metrics from Sprint Boot applications
• Ingest pre-instrumented metrics from JVM-based frameworks, servers, and cache systems
• Define custom metrics in JVM-based applications that are to be ingested by Dynatrace

This enables you to:

• Use any of the 17+ pre-instrumented JVM-based frameworks to gather data, automatically send the data to Dynatrace, and have it analyzed by Dynatrace Davis AI
• Automatically feed captured metrics into your Dynatrace Smartscape topology model
• Avoid manual maintenance of hundreds of alerts thanks to our trusted auto-adaptive baseline engine

Compatibility Requirements

• A Dynatrace API token with the DataExport scope (access problems and event feed, metrics, and topology)

For more details, please refer to the Micrometer documentation

Deploy the Java dependency in your application and configure the token to access the API.

For Gradle, add the following implementation: io.micrometer:micrometer-registry-dynatrace:latest.release

For Maven, add the following dependency: <dependency> <groupId>io.micrometer</groupId> <artifactId>micrometer-registry-dynatrace</artifactId> <version>${micrometer.version}</version></dependency>

Next, complete these Micrometer configuration steps.
