How to capture metrics Separately for GET,POST and PUT method for given REST Endpoint using spring boot actuators

Question

How to capture metrics Separately for GET,POST and PUT method for given REST Endpoint using spring boot actuators.

Ex
by default we get :- "gauge.response.customer": 631, i need

1. "gauge.response.customer.GET": 631, OR "gauge.response.GET.customer": 631,
2. "gauge.response.customer.POST": 1631, OR "gauge.response.POST.customer": 1631

Thanks in advance

Hmm I do not believe you can break the endpoints down like that. However, I do know that actuator is very flexible and you can add new metrics to that endpoint. It looks like you are interested primarily in counters so I would recommend using the CounterService that Spring boot has.

private CounterService counterService;

@Autowired
public MyClassName(CounterService counterService) {
    this.counterService = counterService;
}

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String myPostMethod(Object obj) {
    counterService.increment("mycontroller.post.method");
    //...
    return "myPostMethod";
}

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String myGetMethod() {
    counterService.increment("mycontroller.get.method");
    //...
    return "myGetMethod";
}
