Since 2.1.13

This is an experimental feature that is currently enabled by default. You can disable it by adding kanela.modules.spring.enabled = no to your configuration.

Manual Installation #

In case you are not using the Kamon Bundle, add the dependency below to your build.


libraryDependencies += "io.kamon" %% "kamon-spring" % "2.5.9"


    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.kamon</groupId>
      <artifactId>kamon-spring_2.13</artifactId>
      <version>2.5.9</version>
    </dependency>


implementation 'io.kamon:kamon-spring_2.13:2.5.9'

You must start your application with the instrumentation agent for this module to work properly.
