<ol>
<li>
<p>Install Prometheus:</p>
<p>Follow instructions at
<a href="http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/">http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Enable Synapse metrics:</p>
<p>In <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, make sure <code>enable_metrics</code> is
set to <code>True</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Enable the <code>/_synapse/metrics</code> Synapse endpoint that Prometheus uses to
collect data:</p>
<p>There are two methods of enabling the metrics endpoint in Synapse.</p>
<p>The first serves the metrics as a part of the usual web server and
can be enabled by adding the <code>metrics</code> resource to the existing
listener as such as in this example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">listeners:
- port: 8008
tls: false
type: http
x_forwarded: true
bind_addresses: ['::1', '127.0.0.1']
resources:
# added "metrics" in this line
- names: [client, federation, metrics]
compress: false
</code></pre>
<p>This provides a simple way of adding metrics to your Synapse
installation, and serves under <code>/_synapse/metrics</code>. If you do not
wish your metrics be publicly exposed, you will need to either
filter it out at your load balancer, or use the second method.</p>
<p>The second method runs the metrics server on a different port, in a
different thread to Synapse. This can make it more resilient to
heavy load meaning metrics cannot be retrieved, and can be exposed
to just internal networks easier. The served metrics are available
over HTTP only, and will be available at <code>/_synapse/metrics</code>.</p>
<p>Add a new listener to homeserver.yaml as in this example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">listeners:
- port: 8008
tls: false
type: http
x_forwarded: true
bind_addresses: ['::1', '127.0.0.1']
resources:
- names: [client, federation]
compress: false
# beginning of the new metrics listener
- port: 9000
type: metrics
bind_addresses: ['::1', '127.0.0.1']
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Synapse.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add a Prometheus target for Synapse.</p>
<p>It needs to set the <code>metrics_path</code> to a non-default value (under
<code>scrape_configs</code>):</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - job_name: "synapse"
scrape_interval: 15s
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
static_configs:
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
</code></pre>
<p>where <code>my.server.here</code> is the IP address of Synapse, and <code>port</code> is
the listener port configured with the <code>metrics</code> resource.</p>
<p>If your prometheus is older than 1.5.2, you will need to replace
<code>static_configs</code> in the above with <code>target_groups</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Prometheus.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Consider using the <a href="https://github.com/element.-hq/synapse/tree/master/contrib/grafana/">grafana dashboard</a>
and required <a href="https://github.com/element.-hq/synapse/tree/master/contrib/prometheus/">recording rules</a></p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="monitoring-workers"><a class="header" href="#monitoring-workers">Monitoring workers</a></h2>
<p>To monitor a Synapse installation using <a href="workers.html">workers</a>,
every worker needs to be monitored independently, in addition to
the main homeserver process. This is because workers don't send
their metrics to the main homeserver process, but expose them
directly (if they are configured to do so).</p>
<p>To allow collecting metrics from a worker, you need to add a
<code>metrics</code> listener to its configuration, by adding the following
under <code>worker_listeners</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - type: metrics
bind_address: ''
port: 9101
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>bind_address</code> and <code>port</code> parameters should be set so that
the resulting listener can be reached by prometheus, and they
don't clash with an existing worker.
With this example, the worker's metrics would then be available
on <code>http://127.0.0.1:9101</code>.</p>
<p>Example Prometheus target for Synapse with workers:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - job_name: "synapse"
scrape_interval: 15s
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
static_configs:
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "master"
index: 1
- targets: ["my.workerserver.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "generic_worker"
index: 1
- targets: ["my.workerserver.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "generic_worker"
index: 2
- targets: ["my.workerserver.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "media_repository"
index: 1
</code></pre>
<p>Labels (<code>instance</code>, <code>job</code>, <code>index</code>) can be defined as anything.
The labels are used to group graphs in grafana.</p>
<h2 id="renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12"><a class="header" href="#renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12">Renaming of metrics & deprecation of old names in 1.2</a></h2>
<p>Synapse 1.2 updates the Prometheus metrics to match the naming
convention of the upstream <code>prometheus_client</code>. The old names are
considered deprecated and will be removed in a future version of
Synapse.
<strong>The old names will be disabled by default in Synapse v1.71.0 and removed
altogether in Synapse v1.73.0.</strong></p>

<p>Synapse 0.27.0 begins the process of rationalising the duplicate
<code>*:count</code> metrics reported for the resource tracking for code blocks and
HTTP requests.</p>
<p>At the same time, the corresponding <code>*:total</code> metrics are being renamed,
as the <code>:total</code> suffix no longer makes sense in the absence of a
corresponding <code>:count</code> metric.</p>
<p>To enable a graceful migration path, this release just adds new names
for the metrics being renamed. A future release will remove the old
ones.</p>
<p>The following table shows the new metrics, and the old metrics which
they are replacing.</p>
