Spring Boot Activator metrics collection in a spreadsheet

If your app is a spring boot app that has the actuator enabled then use this nifty script from Greg Turnquist's Learning Spring Boot book with some changes from me to collect all the metrics in a csv


package learningspringboot

@Grab("groovy-all")
import groovy.json.*

package learningspringboot

@Grab("groovy-all")
import groovy.json.*

@EnableScheduling
class MetricsCollector {

    def url = "http://fizzbuzz.cfapps.io/metrics"
    def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
    def keys = slurper.parse(new URL(url)).keySet()
    def header = false;
    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 1000L)
    void run() {
        if (!header) {
            println(keys.join(','))
            header = true
        }

        def metrics = slurper.parse(new URL(url))

        println(keys.collect{metrics[it]}.join(','))
    }
}



How do you run this script ?

To start collecting stats in the CSV:

1. First install the spring cli following instructions here - http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-boot/1.1.4.RELEASE/reference/html/getting-started-installing-spring-boot.html#getting-started-installing-the-cli
2. Thereafter save the snippet above as metrics.groovy
3. On windows Install - wintee  Run the script on windows with spring run -q metrics.groovy | wintee metrics.csv
4. Run the script on unix with spring run -q metrics.groovy | tee metrics.csv

Happy Debugging!!
