Prometheus

Prometheus

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:

$ 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. A Service Endpoint will also be exposed allowing Prometheus Service Monitors to be used.

Prometheus configuration

To allow Prometheus to scrape the Coder metrics, you will need to create a scape_config in your prometheus.yml file, or in the Prometheus Helm chart values. Below is an example scrape_config:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "coder"
    scheme: "http"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["<ip>:2112"] # replace with the the IP address of the Coder pod or server
        labels:
          apps: "coder"

To use the Kubernetes Prometheus operator to scrape metrics, you will need to create a ServiceMonitor in your Coder deployment namespace. Below is an example ServiceMonitor:

apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
  name: coder-service-monitor
  namespace: coder
spec:
  endpoints:
    - port: prometheus-http
      interval: 10s
      scrapeTimeout: 10s
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app.kubernetes.io/name: coder
