# Internal Grafana metrics
|
|
|
|
Grafana collects some metrics about itself internally. Grafana supports pushing metrics to Graphite or exposing them to be scraped by Prometheus.
|
|
|
|
For more information about configuration options related to Grafana metrics, refer to [metrics]({{< relref "../administration/configuration/#metrics" >}}) and [metrics.graphite]({{< relref "../administration/configuration/#metrics-graphite" >}}) in [Configuration]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Available metrics
|
|
|
|
When enabled, Grafana exposes a number of metrics, including:
|
|
|
|
* Active Grafana instances
|
|
* Number of dashboards, users, and playlists
|
|
* HTTP status codes
|
|
* Requests by routing group
|
|
* Grafana active alerts
|
|
* Grafana performance
|
|
|
|
## Pull metrics from Grafana into Prometheus
|
|
|
|
These instructions assume you have already added Prometheus as a data source in Grafana.
|
|
|
|
1. Enable Prometheus to scrape metrics from Grafana. In your configuration file (`grafana.ini` or `custom.ini` depending on your operating system) remove the semicolon to enable the following configuration options:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Metrics available at HTTP API Url /metrics
|
|
[metrics]
|
|
# Disable / Enable internal metrics
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
|
|
# Disable total stats (stat_totals_*) metrics to be generated
|
|
disable_total_stats = false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. (optional) If you want to require authorization to view the metrics endpoint, then uncomment and set the following options:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
basic_auth_username =
|
|
basic_auth_password =
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Restart Grafana. Grafana now exposes metrics at http://localhost:3000/metrics.
|
|
1. Add the job to your prometheus.yml file.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- job_name: 'grafana_metrics'
|
|
|
|
scrape_interval: 15s
|
|
scrape_timeout: 5s
|
|
|
|
static_configs:
|
|
- targets: ['localhost:3000']
|
|
```
|
|
1. Restart Prometheus. Your new job should appear on the Targets tab.
|
|
1. In Grafana, hover your mouse over the **Configuration** (gear) icon on the left sidebar and then click **Data Sources**.
|
|
1. Select the **Prometheus** data source.
|
|
1. On the Dashboards tab, **Import** the Grafana metrics dashboard. All scraped Grafana metrics are available in the dashboard.
|
|
|
|
## View Grafana metrics in Graphite
|
|
|
|
These instructions assume you have already added Graphite as a data source in Grafana.
|
|
|
|
1. Enable sending metrics to Graphite. In your configuration file (`grafana.ini` or `custom.ini` depending on your operating system) remove the semicolon to enable the following configuration options:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Metrics available at HTTP API Url /metrics
|
|
[metrics]
|
|
# Disable / Enable internal metrics
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
|
|
# Disable total stats (stat_totals_*) metrics to be generated
|
|
disable_total_stats = false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Enable [metrics.graphite] options:
|
|
```
|
|
# Send internal metrics to Graphite
|
|
[metrics.graphite]
|
|
# Enable by setting the address setting (ex localhost:2003)
|
|
address = <hostname or ip>:<port#>
|
|
prefix = prod.grafana.%(instance_name)s.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Restart Grafana. Grafana now exposes metrics at http://localhost:3000/metrics and sends them to the Graphite location you specified.
