From the attached zip create a war file. I am using IntelliJ IDEA and started the server from the configuration and let it deploy the artifact. The only change to the configuration is to modify the startup script to pickup a different default configuration as following: standalone.bat -c standalone-microprofile.xml Now navigate to http://localhost:8080/test-artifact which should trigger the jax-rs test endpoint, produce a metric and give some output on the server console. Navigate to http://localhost:9990/metrics and look for keys starting with application_de_mygroup*. I expect them to have the global tags attached but they don't. A second test is to start over and change the startup configuration to include mp.metrics.tags as an environment variable. This is later visible in the metrics.
