I need to add some metrics to a Grails 5 application and would appreciate any pointers to what library is best established in this space. First I came across Grails Dropwizard which looks neat but doesn’t appear to have any releases beyond 2.0.0RC1. Then I read on the Grails 6 announcement of “Micrometer metrics enhancements”, and a quick search on the net turns up a couple of mentions of attempts to use micrometer with Grails and its integration with Spring Boot. I think it will be a while before we’re on Grails 6 so would like to know what issues if any I’m likely to run into using it with Grails 5, and specifically whether theres a particular version or integration plugin I need.

Thanks Michael - i take it then that using this Spring mechanism works with Grails 5 and is preferred over Grails Dropwizard
