How to expose Hystrix's circuit breaker status through JMX

Question

I've been looking for a tutorial on how to expose Hystrix's circuit breaker status on JMX. I just found out an API for exposing metrics (eg counters, gauges, etc) using hystrix-servo-metrics-publisher .

Is it possible to expose circuit breaker status on JMX?

Answer 1

I found the solution, just start this code:

HystrixPlugins.getInstance().registerMetricsPublisher(
    HystrixServoMetricsPublisher.getInstance());

After this you'll see the metrics on JMX in com.netlix.servo .

Obs: The information will be available on JMX only after the first server request.
