Metrics ​

To conveniently and thoroughly monitor the performance of the network, we recommend using prometheus. Prometheus is a program that can monitor your Iroha peer over a separate socket and provide different kinds of performance metrics.

This data can help you find performance bottlenecks and optimise your Iroha configuration.

How to use metrics ​

To use metrics, you need to configure the /metrics endpoint in the Iroha configuration. By default, the endpoint is exposed at 127.0.0.1:8180/metrics. If the port is not available, Iroha will still start and work normally, but metrics won't be accessible.

After that, use the IP address to access the data from the running Iroha instance. For example:

bash
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/metrics
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/metrics

This will give you a result like this:

bash

# TYPE blocks_height gauge
