@loopback/metrics
Advanced tools
This module contains a component that reports metrics of Node.js, LoopBack framework, and your application to Prometheus.
Experimental packages provide early access to advanced or experimental functionality to get community feedback. Such modules are published to npm using
0.x.yversions. Their APIs and functionality may be subject to breaking changes in future releases.
npm install --save @loopback/metrics
The component should be loaded in the constructor of your custom Application class.
Start by importing the component class:
import {MetricsComponent} from '@loopback/metrics';
In the constructor, add the component to your application:
this.component(MetricsComponent);
By default, Metrics route is mounted at /metrics. This path can be customized
via Metrics configuration as follows:
this.configure(MetricsBindings.COMPONENT).to({
endpoint: {
basePath: '/metrics',
},
defaultMetrics: {
timeout: 5000,
},
defaultLabels: {
service: 'api',
version: '1.0.0',
},
});
{% include note.html content="this.configure() must be called before this.component() to take effect." %}
It also has to be noted, that by default the OpenAPI spec is disabled and
therefore the metrics endpoint will not be visible in the API explorer. The spec
can be enabled by setting openApiSpec to true.
this.configure(MetricsBindings.COMPONENT).to({
openApiSpec: true,
});
There are three types of metrics being collected by this component:
Prometheus supports two modes to collect metrics:
git clone https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-next
npm install
npm run build
cd examples/metrics-prometheus
npm run demo
Open http://localhost:9090 to load Prometheus web UI.
http://localhost:3000/metrics returns metrics in plain text format. It includes information for the Node.js process as well as LoopBack method invocations.
