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=<prometheus_gateway_host_name>:<prometheus_gateway_port>
# example
weed master -metrics.address=localhost:9091
weed server -metrics.address=<prometheus_gateway_host_name>:<prometheus_gateway_port>
# example
weed server -metrics.address=localhost:9091

The SeaweedFS filer or volume servers will read this metrics configuration from the master, and report the metrics directly to the Prometheus Gateway.
