Observability

Metrics

Linkurious Enterprise can be monitored using Prometheus, which is an open source monitoring tool. When metrics are enabled, Linkurious Enterprise will provide an API endpoint on /metrics that can be scrapped by Prometheus.

Configuration

Metrics can be enabled and configured in linkurious/data/config/production.json. They are found under the metrics key, which contains the following options:

  • enabled (default: false): Whether to enable metrics.
  • listenPort (default: 9400): Port where the metrics server will listen for incoming requests.

You will then need to configure Prometheus to scrap this endpoint. If you are not familiar with Prometheus, please refer to their "getting started" guide.

Dashboard

Once metrics are ingested by Prometheus, you could set up a dashboard using Grafana to visualize these metrics. An example Grafana dashboard is provided here.

This dashboard can be imported by following the official grafana documentation and using the link above.

Example data

As an illustration of the available metrics and data format, this is an example response from the /metrics API endpoint:
