FOSDEM Video: Monitoring Legacy Java Applications with Prometheus

At this year’s FOSDEM conference I did a 30 minutes presentation on Monitoring Legacy Java Applications with Prometheus. The talk gives an overview of some of the options you have for monitoring Java applications with Prometheus when you cannot modify the application’s source code:

• Logfile monitoring (grok_exporter), and how it differs from Elastic stack
• Blackbox monitoring (blackbox_exporter)
• JMX (jmx_exporter)
• Write your own Java agent (promagent.io)

The video is available below.
