Sumit Sarin commented on FLINK-4831: ------------------------------------ Hey Chesner, After going through slf4j and log4j documentation and your past work in progress, I believe that i do need to have an understanding of metrics in depth. So should i get acquainted with that or am i going in the wrong direction? I am currently unaware about counters, gauges, meters, histograms, etc. > Implement a slf4j metric reporter > --------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4831 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4831 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metrics > Affects Versions: 1.1.2 > Reporter: Chesnay Schepler > Assignee: Sumit Sarin > Priority: Minor > Labels: easyfix, starter > > For debugging purpose it would be very useful to have a log4j metric > reporter. If you don't want to setup a metric backend you currently have to > rely on JMX, which a) works a bit differently than other reporters (for > example it doesn't extend AbstractReporter) and b) makes it a bit tricky to > analyze results as metrics are cleaned up once a job finishes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
