Application Metrics

You can expose some of the application metrics using the prometheus service embedded to the Spiral application server.

Configuration

Metrics service does not require configuration in the application. However, you must activate this service in .rr.yaml:

yaml
metrics:
  # prometheus client address (path /metrics added automatically)
  address: localhost:2112

You can view defaults metrics on http://localhost:2112/metrics

Custom Application metrics

You can also publish application-specific metrics. First, you have to register a metric in your configuration file:

yaml
metrics:
  address: localhost:2112
  collect:
    app_metric_counter:
      type: counter
      help: "Application counter."

Supported types: gauge, counter, summary, histogram.

To populate metric from application use Spiral\RoadRunner\MetricsInterface:

php
use Spiral\RoadRunner\MetricsInterface; 

// ...

public function index(MetricsInterface $metrics)
{
    $metrics->add('app_metric_counter', 1);
}

You can call MetricsInterface in middleware.

Tagged metrics

You can use tagged (labels) metrics to group values:

yaml
metrics:
  address: localhost:2112
  collect:
    app_type_duration:
      type: histogram
      help: "Application counter."
      labels: ["type"]

You should specify values for your labels while pushing the metric:

php
use Spiral\RoadRunner\MetricsInterface; 

// ...

public function index(MetricsInterface $metrics)
{
    $metrics->add('app_type_duration', 0.5, ['some-type']);
}
