System Metrics

SeaweedFS uses Prometheus to store the metrics and Grafana to visualize them. SeaweedFS publishes metrics to Prometheus Push Gateway, and the gateway pass along to the Prometheus server.

Master | Volume Server | Filer => Prometheus Push Gateway => Prometheus Server => Grafana

Note: Setting Prometheus, push gateway, and Grafana can be simplified with this https://github.com/evnsio/prom-stack

Configuration

Just add a metrics address to weed master or weed server command line options. If you have multiple masters, please add it to all the master command line options.

weed master -metrics.address=<protocol><prometheus_gateway_host_name>:<prometheus_gateway_port>
# example
weed master -metrics.address=localhost:9091               # Defaults to http://localhost:9091
weed master -metrics.address=https://example.com

weed server -metrics.address=<protocol><prometheus_gateway_host_name>:<prometheus_gateway_port>
# example
weed server -metrics.address=localhost:9091               # Defaults to http://localhost:9091
weed server -metrics.address=https://example.com

The SeaweedFS filer or volume servers will read this metrics configuration from the master, and report the metrics directly to the Prometheus Gateway. Filer and volume servers need to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
