Prometheus

On this page

Coder exposes many metrics which can be consumed by a Prometheus server, and give insight into the current state of a live Coder deployment.

If you don't have an Prometheus server installed, you can follow the Prometheus Getting started guide.

Enable Prometheus metrics

Coder server exports metrics via the HTTP endpoint, which can be enabled using either the environment variable CODER_PROMETHEUS_ENABLE or the flag --prometheus-enable.

The Prometheus endpoint address is http://localhost:2112/ by default. You can use either the environment variable CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS or the flag --prometheus-address <network-interface>:<port> to select a different listen address.

If coder server --prometheus-enable is started locally, you can preview the metrics endpoint in your browser or by using curl: http://localhost:2112/.

$ curl http://localhost:2112/
# HELP coderd_api_active_users_duration_hour The number of users that have been active within the last hour.
# TYPE coderd_api_active_users_duration_hour gauge
coderd_api_active_users_duration_hour 0
...

Kubernetes deployment

The Prometheus endpoint can be enabled in the Helm chart's values.yml by setting the environment variable CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS to 0.0.0.0:2112. The environment variable CODER_PROMETHEUS_ENABLE will be enabled automatically.
