             Summary: Create Metrics API and default implementation
                 Key: NIFI-5373
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5373
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Jeff Storck
            Assignee: Jeff Storck


A decoupling of the metrics library used by several reporting components by 
providing a similar API in a new nifi-metrics module (under nifi-commons) will 
help internalize the dependencies on the yammer/dropwizard metrics libraries 
and reduce the number of dependencies that NiFi extensions need to collect 
those types of metrics.

While working towards support for building NiFi on Java 10+, tests for 
components that use the com.yammer.metrics:metrics-core:2.2.0 dependency are 
failing due to references to internal JDK modules.  These metrics libraries are 
now maintained dropwizard, and a new version (4.0.0) has been released that 
works with Java 10.

The public API for the metrics libraries has changed a bit, and 
VirtualMachineMetrics is no longer available.  NiFi will supply its own public 
API for metrics that is derived from dropwizard/yammer's VirtualMachineMetrics 
to minimize impact to NiFi extensions that currently use this dependency.
