Setup Prometheus Monitoring

Setting up monitoring for Prometheus is easy. Have a look at the configuration in listing 2.

        <serviceProxy name="Prometheus Monitoring" port="8080">
          <path>/prometheus</path>
          <prometheus/>
        </serviceProxy>
Listing 2: Configuration to collect statistics

With this configuration monitoring data is served on localhost:8080/prometheus. The interceptor chain will not continue beyond this interceptor as it returns the collected data directly.
