A Guide to Custom Observability with Micrometer, Prometheus, and Grafana
What is Custom Observability
Custom observability refers to the practice of tailoring monitoring and instrumentation to specific needs and requirements of an application or system. It involves the strategic collection of metrics, logs, and traces to gain valuable insights into the system’s performance, health, and behavior.

In the fast-paced world of modern microservice based applications, keeping a close eye on system performance is more critical than ever. This is where Spring Boot custom monitoring, powered by Micrometer, Prometheus, and Grafana, comes to the rescue! Imagine having a smart system that automatically tracks your application’s vital signs, giving you real-time insights into its health, just like a doctor monitoring a patient. With custom monitoring, you gain the ability to measure, analyze, and optimize key performance metrics specific to your application’s unique needs. This newfound visibility allows you to identify potential bottlenecks, detect anomalies, and fine-tune your microservices for optimal…
