I have the following very simple Apache Flink Pipeline for which I would like to get some metrics, as explained in the Apache Flink documentation, via the Apache Flink Dashboard:
import org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.RichMapFunction;
import org.apache.flink.configuration.Configuration;
import org.apache.flink.metrics.Counter;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction;
public class Pipeline {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();
env.addSource(new RichSourceFunction<String>() {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 3990963645875188158L;
private boolean notCanceled = true;
@Override
public void run(SourceContext<String> ctx) throws Exception {
while (notCanceled) {
ctx.collect("test");
}
}
@Override
public void cancel() {
notCanceled = false;
}
}).map(new RichMapFunction<String, String>() {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private transient Counter counter;
@Override
public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {
super.open(parameters);
this.counter = getRuntimeContext()
.getMetricGroup()
.counter("myCounter");
}
@Override
public String map(String value) throws Exception {
this.counter.inc();
return "mappedtext";
}
}).print();
env.execute();
}
}
I do run that Pipeline using the Docker Setup available via Docker-Hub. Everything uses Apache Flink 1.10.0. The Pipeline runs fine, but when I try to view my metric I only get:

Now I ask myself what am I doing wrong? Is there some configuration parameter I am missing or is this not the correct place to view that metric in the dashboard? Can someone please advise or at least point me to a resource, where I would get more information?
