Dropwizard Metrics is a Java library for capturing JVM- and application-level metrics such as gauges, counters, histograms, and timers. It provides instrumentation APIs and reporters so developers know what is going on in their applications.
Use cases
- instrument java application metrics
- track jvm memory and thread metrics
- measure request latency and throughput
- report metrics to graphite or other backends
- add timers and counters to java code
- monitor application health in production
When to choose
- you need a mature, widely adopted java metrics library
- you want jvm-level and application-level instrumentation
- you use dropwizard or other jvm frameworks needing metrics integration
When to avoid
- you need a tag-based metrics API with backward-incompatible features today
- you are not on the jvm platform
- you want a full observability suite rather than a metrics library
