Metrics That Matter
The Scenario
DevOps needs to set up monitoring and alerting for background jobs:
How many jobs are we processing per minute? What's the failure rate?
Are queues backing up?
They need metrics that feed into Prometheus and Grafana (or some competing observability platform).
The Challenge
How do we expose job metrics for monitoring and alerting systems?
The Solution
JobRunr Pro integrates with
Micrometer to expose metrics:
# In application.properties
jobrunr.jobs.metrics.enabled=true
jobrunr.jobs.metrics.micrometer-timers.enabled=true
Available metrics include:
jobrunr_jobs_by_state — Jobs per state (ENQUEUED, PROCESSING, etc.)jobrunr_jobs_in_progress — Jobs in progressjobrunr_jobs_runs_* — Jobs execution timesjobrunr_background_job_server_* — Server health metrics
Read the documentation →
Try It Yourself
Open Prometheus and query JobRunr metrics:
http://localhost:9090
Try:
jobrunr_jobs_by_state or
rate(jobrunr_jobs_in_progress_seconds_count[5m])
You need to log in to perform write operations. You can still view the code solution and dashboard.
Prometheus is not wired into this live demo. Run the demo locally and the metrics are all yours.
