title: prometheus keywords:
The prometheus
Plugin exports metrics in Prometheus exposition format.
Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
prefer_name | boolean | False | false | When set to true , prints Route/Service name instead of ID in Prometheus metric. |
export_uri
You can change the default export URI by configuring the export_uri
attribute under plugin_attr
in your configuration file (conf/config.yaml
).
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
export_uri | string | “/apisix/prometheus/metrics” | URI to export the Prometheus metrics. |
Here is a configuration example:
plugin_attr: prometheus: export_uri: /apisix/metrics
metrics
For http request related metrics, you could specify extra labels, which match the APISIX variables.
If you specify label for nonexist APISIX variable, the label value would be "".
Currently, only below metrics are supported:
Here is a configuration example:
plugin_attr: prometheus: metrics: http_status: extra_labels: - upstream_addr: $upstream_addr - upstream_status: $upstream_status
default_buckets
DEFAULT_BUCKETS
is the default value for bucket array in http_latency
metrics.
You can change the DEFAULT_BUCKETS
by configuring default_buckets
attribute in you configuration file.
Here is a configuration example:
plugin_attr: prometheus: default_buckets: - 15 - 55 - 105 - 205 - 505
This Plugin will add the API endpoint /apisix/prometheus/metrics
or your custom export URI for exposing the metrics.
These metrics are exposed by a separate Prometheus server address. By default, the address is 127.0.0.1:9091
. You can change it in your configuration file (conf/config.yaml
):
plugin_attr: prometheus: export_addr: ip: ${{INTRANET_IP}} port: 9092
Now, if the environment variable INTRANET_IP
is 172.1.1.1
, APISIX will export the metrics via 172.1.1.1:9092
.
If you still want to expose the metrics via the data plane port (default: 9080
), you can configure it as shown below:
plugin_attr: prometheus: enable_export_server: false
You can then expose it by using the public-api Plugin.
:::info IMPORTANT
If the Prometheus plugin collects too many metrics, it will take CPU resources to calculate the metric data when getting the metrics via URI, which may affect APISIX to process normal requests. To solve this problem, APISIX exposes the URI and calculates the metrics in the privileged agent. If the URI is exposed using the public-api plugin, then APISIX will calculate the metric data in a normal worker process, which may still affect APISIX processing of normal requests.
This feature requires APISIX to run on APISIX-Base.
:::
The prometheus
Plugin can be enabled with an empty table.
The example below shows how you can configure the Plugin on a specific Route:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d ' { "uri": "/hello", "plugins": { "prometheus":{} }, "upstream": { "type": "roundrobin", "nodes": { "127.0.0.1:80": 1 } } }'
:::note
When prefer_name
is set to true
make sure to not duplicate names for multiple Routes/Services or it could be misleading.
:::
You can fetch the metrics from the specified export URI (default: /apisix/prometheus/metrics
):
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9091/apisix/prometheus/metrics
You can add this address to Prometheus to fetch the data:
scrape_configs: - job_name: "apisix" scrape_interval: 15s # This value will be related to the time range of the rate function in Prometheus QL. The time range in the rate function should be at least twice this value. metrics_path: "/apisix/prometheus/metrics" static_configs: - targets: ["127.0.0.1:9091"]
Now, you will be able to check the status in your Prometheus console:
Metrics exported by the prometheus
Plugin can be graphed in Grafana using a drop in dashboard.
To set it up, download Grafana dashboard meta and import it in Grafana. Or, you can go to Grafana official for Grafana metadata.
The following metrics are exported by the prometheus
Plugin:
Status code: HTTP status code returned from Upstream services. They are available for a single service and across all services.
The available attributes are:
Name | Description |
---|---|
code | HTTP status code returned by the upstream service. |
route | route_id of the matched Route with request. Defaults to an empty string if the Routes don't match. |
matched_uri | uri of the Route matching the request. Defaults to an empty string if the Routes don't match. |
matched_host | host of the Route matching the request. Defaults to an empty string if the Routes don't match. |
service | service_id of the Route matching the request. If the Route does not have a service_id configured, it defaults to $host . |
consumer | consumer_name of the Consumer matching the request. Defaults to an empty string if it does not match. |
node | IP address of the Upstream node. |
Bandwidth: Total amount of traffic (ingress and egress) flowing through APISIX. Total bandwidth of a service can also be obtained.
The available attributes are:
Name | Description |
---|---|
type | Type of traffic (egress/ingress). |
route | route_id of the matched Route with request. Defaults to an empty string if the Routes don't match. |
service | service_id of the Route matching the request. If the Route does not have a service_id configured, it defaults to $host . |
consumer | consumer_name of the Consumer matching the request. Defaults to an empty string if it does not match. |
node | IP address of the Upstream node. |
etcd reachability: A gauge type representing whether etcd can be reached by APISIX. A value of 1
represents reachable and 0
represents unreachable.
Connections: Nginx connection metrics like active, reading, writing, and number of accepted connections.
Batch process entries: A gauge type useful when Plugins like syslog, http-logger, tcp-logger, udp-logger, and zipkin use batch process to send data. Entries that hasn't been sent in batch process will be counted in the metrics.
Latency: Histogram of the request time per service in different dimensions.
The available attributes are:
Name | Description |
---|---|
type | Value can be one of apisix , upstream , or request . This translates to latency caused by APISIX, Upstream, or both (their sum). |
service | service_id of the Route matching the request. If the Route does not have a service_id configured, it defaults to $host . |
consumer | consumer_name of the Consumer matching the request. Defaults to an empty string if it does not match. |
node | IP address of the Upstream node. |
Info: Information about the APISIX node.
Shared dict: The capacity and free space of all nginx.shared.DICT in APISIX.
apisix_upstream_status
: Health check result status of upstream nodes. A value of 1
represents healthy and 0
represents unhealthy.
The available attributes are:
Name | Description |
---|---|
name | resource id where the upstream node is attached to, e.g. /apisix/routes/1 , /apisix/upstreams/1 . |
ip | ip address of the node. |
port | port number of the node. |

To disable the prometheus
Plugin, you can delete the corresponding JSON configuration from the Plugin configuration. APISIX will automatically reload and you do not have to restart for this to take effect.
curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d ' { "uri": "/hello", "plugins": {}, "upstream": { "type": "roundrobin", "nodes": { "127.0.0.1:80": 1 } } }'
:::info IMPORTANT
This feature requires APISIX to run on APISIX-Base.
:::
We can also enable prometheus
to collect metrics for TCP/UDP.
First of all, ensure prometheus
plugin is in your configuration file (conf/config.yaml
):
stream_plugins: - ... - prometheus
Then you need to configure the prometheus
plugin on the stream route:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/stream_routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d ' { "plugins": { "prometheus":{} }, "upstream": { "type": "roundrobin", "nodes": { "127.0.0.1:80": 1 } } }'
The following metrics are available when using APISIX as an L4 proxy.
Stream Connections
: The number of processed connections at the route level.
Attributes:
Name | Description |
---|---|
route | matched stream route ID |
Connections
: Various Nginx connection metrics like active, reading, writing, and number of accepted connections.
Info
: Information about the current APISIX node.
Here are examples of APISIX metrics:
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9091/apisix/prometheus/metrics
... # HELP apisix_node_info Info of APISIX node # TYPE apisix_node_info gauge apisix_node_info{hostname="desktop-2022q8f-wsl"} 1 # HELP apisix_stream_connection_total Total number of connections handled per stream route in APISIX # TYPE apisix_stream_connection_total counter apisix_stream_connection_total{route="1"} 1
