Q: Built-in Management Extensions(with Remote API) for .NET runtime?

[gelihu]

I am wondering, if there is a JMX like capability for .NET runtime?

The Java Management Extensions (JMX) API is a standard API for management and monitoring of resources such as applications, devices, services, and the Java virtual machine.

I am aware of dotnet-trace and counters, but I do not know how to expose them.

The JMX API includes remote access, so a remote management program can interact with a running application for these purposes.

Something like this would be amazing.

Yes what do you want to expose?

CPU, Memory, exception rate and custom event counters.

I just saw this blog, this is great and Prom exporter is also there 😀

My only concern is, a shared volume and a sidecar are used for the Kubernetes deployment. So, for every deployment do I need to have a sidecar and a shared volume for every deployment? or Can I customize the monitor to use a single volume? Resources might be a concern here(just a personal opinion).

This is very exciting, but it would be better if they are directly exported on a TCP/IP port of the main process without needing to start another process, like the way JVM does(I am sorry, I keep on using JVM as an example; it is really a powerful feature); then, I can have a single exporter for all of the deployments(again, a personal opinion 😄 )

.NET doesn’t have a direct JMX equivalent, but it offers similar capabilities. You can use EventCounters and DiagnosticSource to expose metrics, and dotnet-counters or dotnet-trace to monitor them. For remote access, frameworks like OpenTelemetry or Prometheus exporters let you expose metrics over HTTP. You can also build and https://royalreels.casinologin.mobi/ a lightweight REST/gRPC endpoint in your app to expose custom counters, mimicking JMX’s remote management features.
