We have a spring boot application running, having actuator & micrometer-registery-prometheus to expose JVM/application metrics over actuator/prometheus endpoint and we could see the metrics are exposed & consumed by prometheus successfully.
I read if we want to expose JMX metrics to prometheus, we have to run the jmx_exporter with the java application, so prometheus can scrape JVM related metrics from there.
- Do we need jmx_exporter, if we already have micrometer exposing metrics to prometheus ?
- Is there some specific jmx metrics/mbeans that micrometer doesn’t expose, and we have to use jmx_exporter for this ?
