Make Monitoring Easy for your Java Apps
summary
Live demo shows a Java Open-Xchange email app instrumented with an OpenTelemetry Java agent and run from a Docker LGTM repo, shipping metrics to Prometheus, logs to Loki and profiles to Pyroscope and visualised in Grafana 12. Claim: the new drill down app queryless dashboards surfaces metrics logs traces and profiles without writing PromQL or log queries. Setup needs a small JAVA_OPTS change and Docker compose; alerts and routing work too, and the demo dashboards load successfully.
