stevensouza / automon Goto Github PK

Hi,

I'm having an issue with starting my service with automon. I'm not that into aspectj, so I hope you could give me a hint whether my setup is just wrong or something could be improved in automon project.
I get:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 'serviceApplicationConfiguration': 
BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: 
Expecting to find 2 arguments to bind by name in advice, but actually found 1 arguments.

in

org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AbstractAspectJAdvice#calculateArgumentBindings

AbstractAspectJAdvice has only one String in argumentNames when trying to bind Object around() throws Throwable : _monitor() from AutomonAspect.aj. He recognizes only the first argument in runtime (_monitor).
I'm using spring 3.2.4.RELEASE (which I tested with your spring-woven example - works fine). Instead of using xml based bean definition, I use org.springframework.context.annotation.Beans and pointcuts and aspects.

My ServiceApplicationConfiguration which is annotated with org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration and EnableAspectJAutoProxy(proxyTargetClass = true) should load my Aspect which extends your SpringBase and defines pointcuts same as you do in spring-woven example. If you have any idea what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate the hints.

Cheers,
Nikola

P.S. Perhaps it's unclear. I'd see to get some example in my fork with minimal code representing the issue soon.

I am looking into updating Automon. I am curious if anyone out there is using/has used it and if so how they use it? Are there any improvements that would be useful to you?

Some things I am considering.

• Fixing security vulnerabilities
• Updating to later versions of various dependencies (such as AspectJ)
• Possibly removing some of the integrations and just integrating micrometer and ones that micrometer doesn't currently support.
• Adding more examples of how to integrate automon to other projects including 3rd party jars/classes that are not instrumented.
• Automon previously focused on timing methods and tracking exceptions. I am considering other metrics that can be down that fall outside the scope of those.
• Videos showing how to use it
