This directory contains some sample monitoring config for using the 'Prometheus' monitoring server against synapse. To use it, first install prometheus by following the instructions at http://prometheus.io/ Then add a new job to the main prometheus.yml file: - job_name: "synapse" metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics" # when endpoint uses https: scheme: "https" static_configs: - targets: ['SERVER.LOCATION:PORT'] To use `synapse.rules` add rule_files: - "/PATH/TO/synapse.rules" Metrics are disabled by default when running synapse; they must be enabled with the 'enable-metrics' option, either in the synapse config file or as a command-line option.
