Subscription Information
This feature is supported on the Self-Hosted platform, with a Pro, Pro X, Enterprise X, or Enterprise+ license.
Open Metrics is an open standard for exposing and transmitting metrics from applications and services. It provides a common, easy-to-read format that can be utilized by different monitoring tools and systems. Unlike JMX MBeans, which is specifically designed to monitor Java applications (such as the main Artifactory service), Open Metrics can be used to monitor other Artifactory services and microservices that are written in programming languages other than Java. The JFrog Platform supports Open Metrics for Self-Hosted customers (the functionality is not supported for JFrog Cloud customers).
Credentials for Accessing Open Metrics
From Artifactory version 7.21.1, an admin user can create a scoped access token using system:metrics:r and use that as the credentials for getting the service metrics. The admin can create read-only access token to get metrics, which then enables anyone with the read-only token to read metrics. To learn more, see Access Tokens.
To enable metrics in Artifactory, set the following values in the Artifactory System YAML file to true:
shared.metrics.enabledartifactory.metrics.enabledevent.metrics.enabledaccess.metrics.enabledobservability.metrics.enabled
You must restart Artifactory for the changes to take effect.
To enable metrics in Xray, make the following configuration change to the Xray System YAML:
openMetrics:
enabled: true
