Metrics API¶

This feature will make the /api/metrics endpoint available. This API endpoint exposes Prometheus compatible metrics.

After enabling the feature, you will need to set up a prometheus database, then you can use tools, like Grafana, to create your own dashboards.

Note

You need a JWT token with Admin role to be able to scrape the endpoint.

Example:

curl -s -H "Authorization: bearer $JWT" "$SESAM_API_URL/metrics"

Note that all the counter metrics consists of two metrics suffixed by _counter and _created.

`sesam_pump_started_total`	Counter	The number of pump-started events. Note: no-op runs are not counted currently.
`sesam_pump_completed_total`	Counter	The number of pump-completed events. Note: no-op runs are not counted currently.
`sesam_pump_failed_total`	Counter	The number of non-interrupted pump-failed events.
`sesam_pump_interrupted_total`	Counter	The number of interrupted pump-failed events.
`sesam_pump_entities_changes_total`	Counter	The number of entities changed
