This project is a fork of an early version of Kamon-Akka. The Kamon team have done a great job and if you are just experimenting with metrics collection, then their tools and documentation are a great starting point. This fork produces metrics in Micrometer format.

These are 3 previous iterations of this library:

• pjfanning/micrometer-akka
• Kontainers/micrometer-akka
• Prometheus-Akka

"com.github.pjfanning" %% "micrometer-pekko" % "0.15.0"

There is a sample project at https://github.com/pjfanning/micrometer-pekko-sample.

To enable monitoring, include the appropriate jar as a dependency and include the following Java runtime flag in your Java startup command (aspectjweaver is a transitive dependency of micrometer-pekko):

-javaagent:/path/to/aspectjweaver-1.9.19.jar

You will also need to set up the Micrometer Meter Registry.

com.github.pjfanning.micrometer.pekko.PekkoMetricRegistry#setRegistry (example)

The metrics are configured using application.conf files. There is a default reference.conf that enables only some metrics.

• differs a little between ForkJoin dispatchers and ThreadPool dispatchers
• ForkJoin: parallelism, activeThreadCount, runningThreadCount, queuedSubmissionCount, queuedTaskCountGauge stealCount
• ThreadPool: activeThreadCount, corePoolSize, currentPoolSize, largestPoolSize, maxPoolSize, completedTaskCount, totalTaskCount

• Actor Count
• Unhandled Message Count
• Dead Letter Count

• One metric per actor instance
• mailboxSize (current size), processingTime, timeInMailbox, message count, error count

• One metric per router instance, summed across all routee actors
• routingTime, timeInMailbox, message count, error count

• Each actor group has its own include/exclude rules and you can define many groups with individual actors being allowed to be included in many groups - the metrics are summed across all actors in the group
• actorCount (current active actors), mailboxSize (current size), processingTime, timeInMailbox, message count, error count
