1. Introduction

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit commonly


used with Spring Boot applications. In Spring Boot, Prometheus integration is
typically done using Spring Boot Actuator and Micrometer.

2. Add Required Dependencies (Maven)

Add the following dependencies to your [Link] file:

<dependencies>
<!-- Spring Boot Actuator -->
<dependency>
<groupId>[Link]</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>

<!-- Prometheus Registry -->


<dependency>
<groupId>[Link]</groupId>
<artifactId>micrometer-registry-prometheus</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

3. Add Required Dependencies (Gradle)

For Gradle users, add the following to [Link]:

implementation '[Link]:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
implementation '[Link]:micrometer-registry-prometheus'

4. Configure [Link]

Add the following configuration to [Link]:

[Link]=health,info,metrics,prometheus

[Link]=true
[Link]=true
[Link]=true
[Link]=true

[Link]=true
[Link]=true
[Link]=${[Link]}

[Link]-path=/actuator

5. Verify the Prometheus Endpoint

Run your Spring Boot application and access:

[Link]
6. Configure Prometheus Server (For Locally)

Download and install Prometheus.

Edit [Link]:

global:
scrape_interval: 15s

scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'spring-boot-app'
metrics_path: '/actuator/prometheus'
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:8080']

7. Start Prometheus

Run:

prometheus --[Link]=[Link]

Open Prometheus UI:

[Link]

You can now query metrics like:

http_server_requests_seconds_count
jvm_memory_used_bytes
