Metrics

The connector library exposes a series of metrics which can be used to monitor the health of a particular connector.

By default, metrics are exposed using Prometheus. The default location where connector metrics are hosted is localhost:9001. If statistics are not displaying, then ensure that the Lightbend Telemetry agent is running. For more information check out the Cinnamon Agent Documentation.

Connector Metrics Breakdown

Each connector has its own set of metrics in the table below. Every metric is tagged with the relevant connector’s name. To distinguish which metrics relate to which connector, use the connector hint in the Prometheus exporter.

Metric name Type Description Source

application_ipf_requests_sent

Counter

Logs the number of messages sent through a sending connector

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_requests_received

Counter

Logs the number of messages received through a receiving connector

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_correlations_saved

Counter

The number of correlation records persisted by the correlation service

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_correlations_found

Counter

The number of correlation records fetched from the correlation service

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_failed_correlations

Histogram/Recorder

The number of failed correlation lookups from the correlation service

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_failed_requests

Counter

The number of failed message requests through a sending connector

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_failed_receives

Counter

The number of failed message receives through a receiving connector

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)

application_ipf_response_times

Histogram/Recorder

A complex Recorder type which records min/max/average and percentiles for response times for this connector

Akka Cinnamon (default TCP/9001)
WARNING: These metrics are based on the CorrelationFound system event, so it only applies for async request reply operations where we found the correlation, so it’s per-connector and only for connectors that participate in a request-reply session by using the correlation ID service

Circuit Breaker Metrics

Circuit breaker metrics use MeterRegistry implementations to publish metrics. This can be set at a per connector level through ResiliencySettings:

ResiliencySettings.builder()
    .initialRetryWaitDuration(Duration.ofMillis(10))
    .maxAttempts(1)
    .resetTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
    .meterRegistry(SIMPLE_METER_REGISTRY)
    .build()

Alternatively this can be set through the SendingConnector interface. This allows setting the meterRegistry implementation at an application level.

For example, if we want to set all the sendingConnectors to have the same meterRegistry implementation we can loop through and set them with the API after we have already built the connectors. This allows us to quickly switch implementations without the need to change each connector definition.
