Exporting metrics over JMX

Open anvinjain opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

This is not a bug report, instead a feature request.

Does/can openconsensus expose metrics over JMX? We have a homegrown metric system which has agents for reading metrics from JMX and exporting them. In fact, exposing metrics over JMX will help openconsensus integrate with a lot of legacy systems around the block.

Documentation is missing for writing Stats exporter for openconsensus in java, adding that would help for someone from community to contribute a JMX exporter.

@anvinjain yes, JMX can help, however it really doesn't provide a lot of value IMO. JMX is a hierarchal system and essentially doesn't allow slicing and dicing by dimensions, if I am not mistaken. @bogdandrutu may be integration with Micrometer might help with this enhancement anyway, as it has JMX exporter and would also provide a lot more possibility to export metrics to multiple systems. Thoughts ?

+1 need this feature. JMX is basic & built-in solution without any extra dependencies in Java world. It would be a problem expanding the tags into hierarchal style.
