micrometer-shim

Micrometer Shim Example

This is a modified version of the example from opentelemetry-java-examples/micrometer-shim, configured to export data to New Relic via OTLP.

This example demonstrates a typical use case of micrometer shim.

It consists of a spring boot application with:

• A simple web API available at GET http://localhost:8080/ping
• Instrumented with the spring boot actuator and micrometer
• Micrometer metrics bridged to OpenTelemetry using the micrometer shim
• OpenTelemetry metrics exported to New Relic via OTLP

How to run

Run the application from a shell in the java root via:

# Set New Relic license key as environment variable
export NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY=<your_license_key>

./gradlew micrometer-shim:bootRun

Exercise the application by calling its endpoint

curl http://localhost:8080/ping

Check New Relic to confirm data is flowing.
