Draft validation PR for the unmodified Micrometer compatibility story.
This intentionally does not depend on #2114. Vanilla Micrometer does not use the typed descriptor API and does not implement the #1800 registration metadata hooks, so this PR validates the patch-compatible path independently of typed descriptors.
This validates upstream micrometer-metrics/micrometer@main against:
- current
main, which already includes #2100 and #2124 (reserved suffix stripping inPrometheusNaming.sanitizeMetricName()). - Micrometer compatibility test tooling/workflow from zeitlinger#1.

Adds typed metric family descriptors and typed metadata support for the model snapshots.
This is the typed-descriptor branch for downstreams that want to provide registration-time metadata explicitly. The #1800 Collector/MultiCollector registration metadata hooks are already optional via default methods, so unmodified downstreams should not need this PR just to keep working.
This PR now also deprecates the fragmented registration metadata API
(getPrometheusName(), getMetricType(), getLabelNames(), and
getMetadata() plus the MultiCollector variants) in favor of
getMetricFamilyDescriptor() / getMetricFamilyDescriptors(). The
deprecated methods remain bridged by default implementations for
compatibility.
Related validation:
- #2121 validates unmodified Micrometer independently of #2114, against
main+ #2124. - #2123 validates a Micrometer branch that explicitly uses
MetricFamilyDescriptorto implement the existing registration metadata hooks without invoking scrape/sample callbacks during registration.

…etricName()` (#2124)
Fixes #2087.
Supersedes #2094 with the same fix on a clean, signed-off commit so the DCO check can pass.
sanitizeMetricName() was simplified in 1.6.0 to return its input
unchanged
because any non-empty UTF-8 string is now a valid metric name. That
silently
broke downstream tools — notably the JMX Exporter and the simpleclient
bridge —
that call sanitizeMetricName() to normalize external names before
passing them
to snapshot builders.
The missing stripping means a JMX attribute that produces
kafka_consumer_request_total as a raw name is no longer sanitized to
kafka_consumer_request. With inferCounterTypeFromName: true this
triggers
unintended counter-type inference; with it false the metric is stored
under the
wrong name, breaking exact-name registry lookups.
Changes
- Restore
RESERVED_METRIC_NAME_SUFFIXESand the iterative suffix-stripping loop inPrometheusNaming.sanitizeMetricName(). - Keep the exact-match case, for example
"_total"->"total", in a dedicated pre-pass before the stripping loop. - Update
PrometheusNamingTestandMetricMetadataTestexpectations. - Add regression coverage for the JMX Exporter scenario and dot-variant
corner
case, for example
.total.
// Before fix: suffix preserved -> metric stored as "kafka_consumer_request_total"
PrometheusNaming.sanitizeMetricName("kafka_consumer_request_total");
// After fix: suffix stripped -> metric stored as "kafka_consumer_request"
PrometheusNaming.sanitizeMetricName("kafka_consumer_request_total");Counter.builder().name("events_total") is unaffected because the
builder API
does not go through sanitizeMetricName().
