Currently Metlo’s Java Agent supports 1 framework:

  • Spring (and by extension Spring Boot)

Its available for download from maven central

Installation

You can add Metlo via either Maven or Gradle:

Gradle:

Gradle
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation com.metlo.spring:0.3
}

Maven:

XML
<dependencies>
    ....
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.metlo</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring</artifactId>
        <version>0.3</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Usage

Metlo for Spring/Boot provides a lightweight filter for spring based applications and can be included as any other filter would. The filter needs to be provided with the METLO collector url, and the METLO API Key as parameters.

Example

Java
package com.example.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.FilterRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

// Metlo imported here import com.metlo.spring.Metlo;

@Configuration public class FilterConfig {

    @Bean
    public FilterRegistrationBean<Metlo> loggingFilter() {
        FilterRegistrationBean<Metlo> registrationBean = new FilterRegistrationBean<>();

        // Metlo registered as a filter here
        registrationBean.setFilter(new Metlo("http://<YOUR_METLO_HOST>:8081", "<YOUR_METLO_API_KEY>"));
        registrationBean.setOrder(2);
        return registrationBean;
    }

}

Configuration

Rate Limiting

Metlo rate limits itself to 10 requests/s by default. In case the system has the capacity to handle more and/or a larger number of traces needs to be reported for some reason, that can be customised in the constructor with the signature:

Java
public Metlo(String host, String api_key, Integer rps)
