HTTP and ConnectionPool Metrics

[rdhanpal]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Today apm-agent-java does not have the functionality to capture HTTP and JDBC Connection pool metrics for a Java Container(eg Tomcat, websphere liberty etc) and we rely on this pool stats to research any potential issues.

Describe the solution you'd like
Requesting for a feature to be added to apm-agent-java to capture http, jdbc connection pools

Enhancement request spawned off topic: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/http-and-jdbc-connectionpool-stats/177154

Thanks

Which JDBC connection pools are you most interested in?

Probably easier to implement once we have resolved #469

Which JDBC connection pools are you most interested in?

My understanding is that you are asking for JDBC driver implementation types I am interested in. If not, Can you elaborate more on this for me please ?

Thank You.

I'm curious which DataSource implementations you are using. Some examples are org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource, com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource, com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource and org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource

[rdhanpal]

we use javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource ,javax.sql.XADataSource, org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource and future integrations would be with com.datastax.oss and some of the JDBC drivers types we use are and not limited to sqljdbc6.jar, db2jcc4.jar and jt400.jar
Please let me know if this information helps.

Hi

I'm interested too, in my case I need of metrics of Hibernate 5.4.2 JMX and metrics of Ehcache 3-JSR107 Monitoring acessible by JMX too.
Unfortunely today I need acess by JConsole or other tool, Jolokia plus Metricbeat is possible, but... ,
for my understanding is too much agents in application to get pratically the same information.

We are interested too and we are using org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource

This is not in the immediate roadmap. For any framework that publishes metrics to the JMX, you can use the capture_jmx_metrics option to capture those.
If you do and want to share (the config and the related dashboard or anything else you did for viewing) with other users, you are welcome to do so through our contrib repo.

has someone ever succeed in configuring it with dbcp2 ? @wolframhaussig by chance?
