Metrics & Monitoring

In addition to Logging & Auditing, meshStack supports metric monitoring of production deployments using Prometheus. The following components and services therefore expose /prometheus URL endpoints for metrics scraping.

meshfed-api
meshfed-replicator-aws

Configuration

Prometheus endpoints are secured via HTTP Basic Auth. To enable Prometheus monitoring, configure a user for Prometheus in the application.yml of the service.

auth:
  basic:
    realm: <COMPONENT>
    users:
      - username: <USERNAME>
        password: <PASSWORD>
        authorities:
          - ACTUATOR

Realm is the RFC-1945 part of the authorization challenge and can be an arbitrary value for the Prometheus page. The entered username and password must be used set in your Prometheus scraper configuration.
