Monitoring with Micrometer support¶

The Monitor Micrometer extension provides a specialized visualization of the requests made to a GeoServer instance, integrating a Micrometer registry to expose a Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint. This allows external Prometheus instances to scrape and collect usage metrics for GeoServer, enabling better insight into request patterns and system performance.

This extension provides fine-grained control over how request data is incorporated into Micrometer’s registry. Each metric measures a specific aspect of a request, such as:

• Timers, which track request durations (e.g., how long a WFS request takes to complete).

• Counters, which measure occurrences (e.g., the number of requests made for a specific WMS layer).

For each request, the following metrics are recorded:

• Request total time

• Response length

• Resource processing times

• Label processing time

• Remote calling host information (optional)
