Prometheus with Spring Boot using service discovery via Eureka Build Status

Update: Prometheus now natively support Eureka as a service discovery mechanism.

See: Prometheus Config for Eureka

A previous version of this project used Eureka Consul Exporter to expose Eureka metadata via Consul apis and using Consul metadata.

This was before Eureka was added as a discovery mechanism for Prometheus.

That code can still be found on the consul_adapter branch of this project.

To build use: mvn clean package

Then docker-compose up to bring up

  • Prometheus (port 9090)
  • Grafana (port 3000)
  • Blackbox Exporter (port 9115)
  • Eureka (port 8761)
  • Spring Boot Demo app registered with Eureka (port 8080)

Go to Grafana Dashboard

to see a dashboard with the currently discovered applications. (allow a minute of two for some data to be collected)

Grafana Dashboard

The Prometheus config has two service discovery config sections. One for monitoring metrics via the application's /actuator/prometheus endpoint, the other for monitoring the application via the blackbox exporter, which pings the application's /actuator/health endpoint.

This isn't entirely necessary, but is sometimes useful to probe an application both internally (whitebox monitoring) and externally (blackbox monitoring).
