# Micrometer Instrumentation for Micrometer version 1.5 and higher

This module provides a [Micrometer registry](https://micrometer.io/docs/concepts#_registry) which
sends Micrometer metrics to the
[OpenTelemetry Metrics SDK](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/tree/main/sdk/metrics).

## Quickstart

### Add these dependencies to your project

Replace `OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION` with the [latest
release](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:io.opentelemetry.instrumentation%20AND%20a:opentelemetry-micrometer-1.5).

For Maven, add to your `pom.xml` dependencies:

```xml
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>io.opentelemetry.instrumentation</groupId>
    <artifactId>opentelemetry-micrometer-1.5</artifactId>
    <version>OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>
```

For Gradle, add to your dependencies:

```groovy
implementation("io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-micrometer-1.5:OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION")
```

### Usage

The instrumentation library provides an implementation of `MeterRegistry` to bridge Micrometer API to OpenTelemetry Metrics.

```java
MeterRegistry meterRegistry = OpenTelemetryMeterRegistry.builder(openTelemetry).build();
```
