Java Vert.x Event Bus integration

Java Vert.x Event Bus Integration provides instrumentation for monitoring the (Vert.x)[https://vertx.io/] Event Bus, enabling the tracking of event flow across the bus. Specifically designed for Vert.x Verticles that extend AbstractVerticle, this extension instruments each deployed class to monitor all methods except those specifically defined by AbstractVerticle.

Supported methods

The integrations tracks or excludes metrics. Here's a list of each:

Tracked methods:

  • Methods that facilitate event flow tracking
  • Methods that enchance visibility into application behavior and performance.

Excluded methods:

  • Specific lifecycle and configuration methods (start, stop, rxStart, rxStop, config, deploymentID, getVertx, init, processArgs)

Install the Java agent

The Java APM agent must be installed to configure the Java Vert.x extensions. Follow the instructions to install the Java APM Agent.

Once the Java APM agent is installed and configured for your application,create an extensions folder under the newrelic directory if it doesn't already exist:

bash
$
# Open your Java APM Agent installation location and create 'extensions' folder ( if it is not existing)
$
cd path/to/newrelic
$
mkdir extensions

Install and configure Java Vert.x Event Bus integration

To install and configure the Java Vert.x Event Bus integration, follow these steps:

  • Update the Java APM agent's extensions folder location in the provided bash script.

  • Copy the updated commands to a bash script install_vertx_integration.sh.

  • Run the script to integrate the Java Vert.x Event Bus monitoring with New Relic APM.

    bash
    $
    #!/bin/bash
    $
    $
    # Define variables
    $
    apiUrl="https://api.github.com/repos/newrelic/newrelic-java-vertx/releases/latest"
    $
    tempZipPath="/tmp/latest.zip"
    $
    tempExtractPath="/tmp/Extracted"
    $
    extensionsDir="/path/to/newrelic/extensions"
    $
    $
    # Retrieve the download URL for the latest release ZIP file
    $
    downloadUrl=$(curl -s "$apiUrl" | grep -o "browser_download_url.*\.zip" | cut -d '"' -f 3)
    $
    $
    echo $downloadUrl
    $
    $
    # Check if the download URL is empty or invalid
    $
    if [ -z "$downloadUrl" ]; then
    $
    echo "Failed to retrieve download URL. Exiting."
    $
    exit 1
    $
    fi
    $
    $
    # Download the latest release ZIP file
    $
    curl -L -o "$tempZipPath" "$downloadUrl"
    $
    $
    # Check if the ZIP file was downloaded successfully
    $
    if [ ! -f "$tempZipPath" ]; then
    $
    echo "Failed to download the ZIP file. Exiting."
    $
    exit 1
    $
    fi
    $
    $
    # Create a temporary extraction folder
    $
    mkdir -p "$tempExtractPath"
    $
    $
    # Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the temporary folder
    $
    unzip -q "$tempZipPath" -d "$tempExtractPath"
    $
    $
    # Check if the extraction was successful
    $
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    $
    echo "Failed to extract the ZIP file. Exiting."
    $
    exit 1
    $
    fi
    $
    $
    # Copy all .jar files to the Java APM Agent 'extensions' directory
    $
    find "$tempExtractPath" -name "*.jar" -exec cp {} "$extensionsDir" \;
    $
    $
    # Clean up temporary files
    $
    rm "$tempZipPath"
    $
    rm -r "$tempExtractPath"
    $
    $
    echo "Installation completed successfully."

To install and configure the Java Vert.x Event Bus Integration, follow these steps:

  • Update the Java APM agent's 'extensions' folder location in the provided powershell commands.

    bash
    $
    # Define variables
    $
    $apiUrl = "https://api.github.com/repos/newrelic/newrelic-java-vertx/releases/latest"
    $
    $tempZipPath = "C:\Temp\latest.zip"
    $
    $tempExtractPath = "C:\Temp\Extracted"
    $
    $extensionsDir = "C:\Path\To\newrelic\extensions"
    $
    $
    # Download the latest release ZIP file from GitHub
    $
    $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $apiUrl
    $
    $downloadUrl = ($response.Content | ConvertFrom-Json).assets[0].browser_download_url
    $
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $downloadUrl -OutFile $tempZipPath
    $
    $
    # Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a temporary folder
    $
    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $tempExtractPath -Force
    $
    Expand-Archive -Path $tempZipPath -DestinationPath $tempExtractPath
    $
    $
    # Copy all .jar files to the Java APM Agent 'extensions' directory
    $
    Get-ChildItem -Path $tempExtractPath -Filter "*.jar" | Copy-Item -Destination $extensionsDir
    $
    $
    # Clean up temporary files
    $
    Remove-Item -Path $tempZipPath -Force
    $
    Remove-Item -Path $tempExtractPath -Recurse -Force

From Java Vert.x Event Bus Integration Releases, download vertx-instrumentation-vx.y.z.zip to a temporary directory and unzip it. Copy all 'jar' files to New Relic Java APM agent's 'extensions' folder.

Verify your integration

After configuring the Java Vert.x Event Bus Integration, you can visualize your application's Vert.x Event Bus transactions and traces directly within New Relic APM and Services.
