Hawkular-APM

Travis Jira Issues Join the chat at freenode:hawkular

is the Application Performance Management solution offering:

  • Distributed Tracing (e.g. for microservices)
  • Application Performance Management
  • Business Transaction Management (currently only using JVM javaagent based approach)

Applications can be instrumented, using a non-intrusive Java agent approach for JVM based applications, or through Zipkin client libraries (for polyglot environment).

In other words Hawkular APM provides the capabilities to monitor the flow of invocations across servers, tiers, on-premises and in the cloud. It also enables detailed performance analysis to be performed of the individual components that make up an application.

Running the latest version in OpenShift

A Docker image with the latest released version of Hawkular APM is published to Docker Hub. Additionally, we keep a set of files that can be used in conjunction with OpenShift, to enable a quick and easy way to start a new Hawkular APM instance. If you want to start this way, this is what you'll need:

docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 8192 --virtualbox-cpu-count 4 --engine-insecure-registry 172.30.0.0/16 openshift
oc cluster up --docker-machine=openshift
oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-dockerfiles/hawkular-apm/master/openshift-templates/hawkular-apm-server-deployment.yml

Note: you should be able to start with a simple oc cluster up, but allocating more power to the underlying docker-machine is a good idea.

Build & Run

To build and run execute:

$ mvn clean install -Pdev -DskipTests [-Pitest]
$ dist/target/hawkular-apm-${version}/bin/standalone.sh [-Djboss.http.port=9411]

-> go to http://localhost:[8080|9411]/ and log in with jdoe:password

The parameters to these commands are:

  • -Djboss.http.port=9411 - bind APM port to Zipkin 9411 port. Default APM port is 8080.
  • -Pdev - create user jdoe:password
  • -Pitest - run integration tests

Add non-intrusive Java instrumentation to instrument your applications (doc):

$ source dist/target/hawkular-apm-${version}/apm/setenv.sh <APM server port>

-> restart your Java applications

Documentation

Project documentation can be found here.

REST API documentation can be generated using -Pdocgen profile. The doc is generated under rest/target folder.

$ mvn clean install -Pdocgen

Project Structure

The project is divided into several areas:

client This folder contains the modules used to collector information from an execution environment.
dist This module builds a distribution containing a pre-packaged Hawkular server with APM installed.
examples This folder contains example applications.
server This folder contains the modules related to the server.
tests This folder contains the integration tests.
ui The angularjs based user interface.
