How to Get Metrics From a Java Application Inside a Docker Container Using Telegraf

My latest article on DZone is online. There you can learn how to configure Telegraf to pull metrics from a Java application running inside a Docker container.
The Telegraf Jolokia plugin configuration presented as example in the article is set up to collect metrics about the heap memory usage, thread count and class count, but these aren't the only metrics you can collect this way. When running a container hosting the Java app with the Jolokia agent, you can get the full list of available metrics through the following GET request:
curl -X GET http://<jolokia_host>:<jolokia_port>/jolokia/list
and pick up their names and attributes to be added to the plugin configuration.

jOOQ: code generation in Eclipse

jOOQ allows code generation from a database schema through ANT tasks, Maven and shell command tools. But if you're working with Eclipse it's easier to create a new Run Configuration to perform this operation. First of all you have to write the usual XML configuration file for the code generation starting from the database: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <configuration xmlns="http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-2.0.4.xsd">   <jdbc>     <driver>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver>     <url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbhost:1700:DBSID</url>     <user>DB_FTRS</user>     <password>password</password>   </jdbc>   <generator>     <name>org.jooq.util.DefaultGenerator</name>     <database>       <name>org.jooq.util.oracle.OracleDatabase</name>     ...

Turning Python Scripts into Working Web Apps Quickly with Streamlit

 I just realized that I am using Streamlit since almost one year now, posted about in Twitter or LinkedIn several times, but never wrote a blog post about it before. Communication in Data Science and Machine Learning is the key. Being able to showcase work in progress and share results with the business makes the difference. Verbal and non-verbal communication skills are important. Having some tool that could support you in this kind of conversation with a mixed audience that couldn't have a technical background or would like to hear in terms of results and business value would be of great help. I found that Streamlit fits well this scenario. Streamlit is an Open Source (Apache License 2.0) Python framework that turns data or ML scripts into shareable web apps in minutes (no kidding). Python only: no front‑end experience required. To start with Streamlit, just install it through pip (it is available in Anaconda too): pip install streamlit and you are ready to execute the working de...

TagUI: an Excellent Open Source Option for RPA - Introduction

 Photo by Dinu J Nair on Unsplash Today I want to introduce  TagUI , an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) Open Source tool I am using to automate test scenarios for web applications. It is developed and maintained by the AI Singapore national programme. It allows writing flows to automate repetitive tasks, such as regression testing of web applications. Flows are written in natural language : English and other 20 languages are currently supported. Works on Windows, Linux and macOS. The TagUI official documentation can be found  here . The tool doesn't require installation: just go the official GitHub repository and download the archive for your specific OS (ZIP for Windows, tar.gz for Linux or macOS). After the download is completed, unpack its content in the local hard drive. The executable to use is named  tagui  (.cmd in Windows, .sh for other OS) and it is located into the  <destination_folder>/tagui/src  directory. In order to ...
