memory monitoring of grails 3.1 application

Question

I am currently using grails 3.1. Kindly share the details of any monitoring plugin like grails-melody which is used in grails 2.*. To my knowledge, grails-melody plugin is not applicable in grails 3+ version. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

JavaMelody plugin works fabulously with Grails 3.1.

The source documentation is the most current, here:

https://github.com/javamelody/grails-melody-plugin

Just include this in your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    runtime 'org.grails.plugins:grails-melody-plugin:1.60.1'
}

As of September 2016, the current version is 1.60.1.

Just build and run your project, then go to http://localhost:8080/monitoring to see your monitoring information. Replace the http://localhost:8080 bit as per your configuration, of course.

Answer 2

Since Grails 3 is build on Spring Boot, you get Actuator out of the box. See this article for more info.
