Prometheus and ActiveMQ Integration

Question

I want to show the metrics of ActiveMQ on Promtheus/Grafana and generate the Alerts using Prometheus AlertManager.

Kindly suggest any option to scrape the ActiveMQ metrics in Prometheus.

Answer 1

If you're using ActiveMQ "Classic" then you'll need to use the Prometheus JMX Exporter.

However, if you're using ActiveMQ Artemis then you can use the Prometheus metrics plugin implementation. General information about exporting metrics in ActiveMQ Artemis can be found in the documentation.

A sample Grafana dashboard is available here.

Thank you for all of your hard work on so many aspects of Artemis. May I ask if there are any pre-configured Grafana dashboards that work with the plugin you have mentioned? I've installed the plugin, and the metrics are there. Even if there is no existing dashboard, the metrics are fairly self-explanatory and building a dashboard should not be hard. Thanks. – Kaolinite

Answer 2

Basic ActiveMQ metrics like number of Queues, number of Messages in a Queue etc can be achieved using a JMX Exporter.
