Example of embedded Jetty and using Micrometer for stats (without Spring) - jetty

I am new to using Micrometer as a metrics/stats producer and I am having a hard time in getting it configured correctly with my Jersey/Embedded Jetty server. I would like to get Jetty statistics added.
I already have the servlet producing stats for the JVM in a Prometheus format.
Does anyone know of a good working example on how to configure it?
I am not using SpringBoot.

The best way is to look at the Spring Boot code. For example it binds the jetty connections
JettyConnectionMetrics.addToAllConnectors(server, this.meterRegistry, this.tags);
And it uses an ApplicationStartedEvent to find the server reference.
private Server findServer(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
if (applicationContext instanceof WebServerApplicationContext) {
WebServer webServer = ((WebServerApplicationContext) applicationContext).getWebServer();
if (webServer instanceof JettyWebServer) {
return ((JettyWebServer) webServer).getServer();
}
}
return null;
}
There are other classes that record the thread usage and SSL handshake metrics.

DefaultHandshakeHandler's determineUser not called on Production Server

I have a grails project which uses Spring websockets. I have implemented the DefaultHandshakeHandler to create random principal name for each new session and use convertAndSendToUser to send messages.
Everything works fine in local run. I am also able to deploy the WAR file on an AWS EC2 Linux Instance running latest tomcat. The file deploys fine and the Connect and Disconnect events on websockets can be detected correctly.*
The only problem is, My CustomHandshakeHandler's determineUser does not get called on production. Due to this my StompHeaderAccessor's principal is always null and the code starts spitting NPEs.
This is how i have declared the CustomHandshakeHandler :
class CustomHandshakeHandler extends DefaultHandshakeHandler {
#Override
protected Principal determineUser(ServerHttpRequest request,
WebSocketHandler wsHandler,
Map<String, Object> attributes) {
// Generate principal with UUID as name
return new StompPrincipal(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
}
}
This is how i set the handshake handler configuration :
#Override
void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry stompEndpointRegistry) {
stompEndpointRegistry.addEndpoint("/ws-ep") // Set websocket endpoint to connect to
.setHandshakeHandler(new CustomHandshakeHandler()) // Set custom handshake handler
.withSockJS() // Add Sock JS support for frontend
}
I tried deploying the same WAR file on local Tomcat 8 and it again works fine. It seems problem happens due to AWS. I also searched for some other AWS and websocket related issues. I came across some ELB compatibility related things but i Don't think that's my case since my websockets are working fine (Events are being received)
Can someone please help out or point me in right directions
Problem was with Nginx settings which upgrade the Http Request to WS request. This question helped a lot : Spring WebSocket: Handshake failed due to invalid Upgrade header: null

Jetty http/2 add ServerSessionListener to server

i am using embedded Jetty to implement HTTP/2. At the moment i am trying to add a ServerSessionListener (from: org.eclipse.jetty.http2.api.Session.Listener.Adapter) to my Server.
i tried to add it to the Context and Server via: addEventListener with no success.
Maybe someone can give me a hint about what i am doing wrong..
I want to add a session Listener to my HTTP2 Connection to track the connected Sessions (Clients) and their connection duration.
Regards!
You can add an implementation of Connection.Listener as a bean to the connector itself, for example:
http2Connector.addBean(new Connection.Listener()
{
public void onOpened(Connection connection) { ... }
public void onClosed(Connection connection) { ... }
});
Alternatively you can add the Connection.Listener as a bean to the ConnectionFactory.
In both cases, every time a connection is created, the listener is added to the connection and will be invoked when the connection opens and when it closes.
You can use Jetty's ConnectorStatistics class that already gathers a number of statistics about connections and already implements Connection.Listener.

Jetty http server : How to pass VM arguments to Jetty (configure timezone)?

I want to specify the timezone for our embedded jetty server.
Trying to avoid this:
java -Duser.timezone=UTC.
Jetty is currently configured like this:
public Server jettyServerConfig() {
org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server server = new Server();
.
.
server.setAttribute("-Duser.timezone", "UTC");//doesn't work
server.setAttribute("user.timezone", "UTC");//doesn't work
return server;
}
public HttpServer jettyServer() {
return new JettyHttpServer(jettyServerConfig(), true);
}
How should I go about to pass VM arguments to JETTY?
Any advice appreciated ;)
Use the TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone zone) method to change the time zone programmatically for the JVM, e.g.:
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

how to set connection/request timeout for jetty server?

I'm running an embedded jetty server (jetty 6.1.24) inside my application like this:
Handler handler=new AbstractHandler()
{
#Override
public void handle(String target, HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, int dispatch)
throws IOException, ServletException {
//this can take a long time
doSomething();
}
};
Server server = new Server(8080);
Connector connector = new org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector();
server.addConnector(connector);
server.setHandler(handler);
server.start();
I would like to set a timeout value (2 seconds) so that if handler.handle() method takes more than 2 seconds, jetty server will timeout and response to the client with 408 http code (request timeout).
This is to guarantee that my application will not hold the client request for a long time and always response within 2 seconds.
I did some research and tested it with "connector.setMaxIdleTime(2000);" but it doesn't work.
Take a look at the API for SelectChannelConnector (Jetty):
http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/7.6.17.v20150415/apidocs/org/eclipse/jetty/server/nio/SelectChannelConnector.html
I've tried to locate any timeout features of the channel (which controls incoming connections): setMaxIdleTime(), setLowResourceMaxIdleTime() and setSoLingerTime() are available it appears.
NOTE: the reason for your timeout feature not to work has to do with the nature of the socket on your operating system. Perhaps even the nature of Jetty (i've read about it somewhere, but cannot remember where it was).
NOTE2: i'm not sure why you try to limit the timeout, perhaps a better approach is limiting the buffer sizes? If you're trying to prevent denial of service...
Yes, this is possible. You could do this using DosFilter of Jetty. This filter is generally used to configure a DOS attack prevention mechanism for your Jetty web server. A property of this filter called 'MaxRequestMs' provides what you are looking for.
For more details, check this.

Can't reach wicket quickstart from outside firewall

I have a project which, for purposes of server configuration, is just a wicket quickstart archetype. I've added some application code, but haven't really done anything to change the default jetty configuration.
I can run and test my application locally using:
http://localhost:8080
or:
http://bekkar:8080 (my PC's network name)
or:
http://192.168.1.2:8080/ (my PC's local IP)
I want to access my wicket app from outside my router firewall. (I eventually will test it on my Blackberry, but for now I'm using Google Chrome to try to reach it externally.)
Using http://www.whatismyip.com/ I found my router's IP.
I use:
http://###.###.###.###:8080
and I get a screen that says Authentication Required, asking for a username and password. I don't have any kind of authentication set up in my wicket app.
I have a NetGear router, WGR614v7. Using the router admin, under port forwarding, I add the following custom service:
Service Name=wicket
Starting Port=8080
Ending Port=8080
Server IP Address=192.168.1.2 //my computer's local IP
After adding the port forwarding service definition, I get a different message from Chrome:
Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ###.###.###.###:8080
How can I make my wicket jetty quickstart accessible from outside my router firewall? I don't know if this is a wicket/jetty issue (belonging on SO) or a firewall issue (belonging on serverfault), so I'll post it here, first.
Thanks!
First, try with just simple apache, or woof. Be sure to bind it to 0.0.0.0 (all IPs).
A) If you can't reach it, it's the router config problem.
B) If that works, you know it't jetty/wicket config.
case A) I don't know that router, but look for port forwarding. I wasn't able to get ASUS WL500gP passing requests in, so I am not the right one to advice here :)
case B) Does Jetty bind to 0.0.0.0? Can you reach it from other machine on the local network?
Not much useful answer, but I hope it helps a bit.
I run jetty/wicket apps on my system all the time and access them remotely. I don't think there is anything special that I've done with Jetty, and especially not wicket to make this work. But if it helps, here is an example Start.java file (this is from one of my apps -- not sure if it is the same as the one in quickstart, as I don't have a quickstart available right now):
public class Start {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Server server = new Server();
SocketConnector connector = new SocketConnector();
// Set some timeout options to make debugging easier.
connector.setMaxIdleTime(1000 * 60 * 60);
connector.setSoLingerTime(-1);
connector.setPort(8080);
server.setConnectors(new Connector[] { connector });
WebAppContext bb = new WebAppContext();
bb.setServer(server);
bb.setContextPath("/");
bb.setWar("src/main/webapp");
// START JMX SERVER
// MBeanServer mBeanServer = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
// MBeanContainer mBeanContainer = new MBeanContainer(mBeanServer);
// server.getContainer().addEventListener(mBeanContainer);
// mBeanContainer.start();
server.addHandler(bb);
try {
System.out.println(">>> STARTING EMBEDDED JETTY SERVER, PRESS ANY KEY TO STOP");
server.start();
System.in.read();
System.out.println(">>> STOPPING EMBEDDED JETTY SERVER");
// while (System.in.available() == 0) {
// Thread.sleep(5000);
// }
server.stop();
server.join();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(100);
}
}
}
I'm using a DLink router, so I'm not sure how to configure yours. However, you should also check your router to see if it has remote web admin turned on, and if it is on port 8080. If so, turn it off, as it might be interfering with your port forwarding.
