Introduction

SignalFx is a real-time monitoring solution for cloud and distributed applications. SignalFx ingests that data and offers various visualizations on charts, dashboards and service maps, as well as real-time anomaly detection.

OpenCensus Java has support for this exporter available through the package:

• Stats io.opencensus.exporter.stats.signalfx

{{% notice tip %}} This guide makes use of SignalFx. You'll need to have:

• A SignalFx account
• The corresponding data ingest token {{% /notice %}}

Creating the exporter

Insert the following snippet in your pom.xml:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <opencensus.version>0.17.0</opencensus.version> <!-- The OpenCensus version to use -->
</properties>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
    <artifactId>opencensus-api</artifactId>
    <version>${opencensus.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
    <artifactId>opencensus-exporter-stats-signalfx</artifactId>
    <version>${opencensus.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
    <artifactId>opencensus-impl</artifactId>
    <version>${opencensus.version}</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Instrument your application code with the following snippet:

{{}} package io.opencensus.tutorial.signalfx;

import io.opencensus.common.Duration; import io.opencensus.exporter.stats.signalfx.SignalFxStatsConfiguration; import io.opencensus.exporter.stats.signalfx.SignalFxStatsExporter;

public class SignalFxTutorial { public static void main(String ...args) { String signalFxToken = "";

    SignalFxStatsExporter.create(
        SignalFxStatsConfiguration.builder()
        .setToken(signalFxToken)
        .setExportInterval(Duration.create(3, 2))
        .build();
    );
}

} {{}}
