Garage exposes some internal metrics in the Prometheus data format.
This page explains how to exploit these metrics.
## Setting up monitoring
### Enabling the Admin API endpoint
If you have not already enabled the [administration API endpoint](@/documentation/reference-manual/admin-api.md), do so by adding the following lines to your configuration file:
```toml
[admin]
api_bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:3903"
```
This will allow anyone to scrape Prometheus metrics by fetching
`http://localhost:3093/metrics`. If you want to restrict access
to the exported metrics, set the `metrics_token` configuration value
to a bearer token to be used when fetching the metrics endpoint.
### Setting up Prometheus and Grafana
Add a scrape config to your Prometheus daemon to scrape metrics from
all of your nodes:
```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'garage'
static_configs:
- targets:
- 'node1.mycluster:3903'
- 'node2.mycluster:3903'
- 'node3.mycluster:3903'
```
If you have set a metrics token in your Garage configuration file,
add the following lines in your Prometheus scrape config:
```yaml
authorization:
type: Bearer
credentials: 'your metrics token'
```
To visualize the scraped data in Grafana,
you can either import our [Grafana dashboard for Garage](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/raw/branch/main/script/telemetry/grafana-garage-dashboard-prometheus.json)
or make your own.
We detail below the list of exposed metrics and their meaning.
