# How to monitor Synapse metrics using Prometheus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install Prometheus:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow instructions at
|
|
|
|
|
<http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Enable Synapse metrics:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two methods of enabling metrics in Synapse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first serves the metrics as a part of the usual web server and
|
|
|
|
|
can be enabled by adding the \"metrics\" resource to the existing
|
|
|
|
|
listener as such:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resources:
|
|
|
|
|
- names:
|
|
|
|
|
- client
|
|
|
|
|
- metrics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This provides a simple way of adding metrics to your Synapse
|
|
|
|
|
installation, and serves under `/_synapse/metrics`. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 `/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add a new listener to homeserver.yaml:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
listeners:
|
|
|
|
|
- type: metrics
|
|
|
|
|
port: 9000
|
|
|
|
|
bind_addresses:
|
|
|
|
|
- '0.0.0.0'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For both options, you will need to ensure that `enable_metrics` is
|
|
|
|
|
set to `True`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Restart Synapse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Add a Prometheus target for Synapse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It needs to set the `metrics_path` to a non-default value (under
|
|
|
|
|
`scrape_configs`):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- job_name: "synapse"
|
|
|
|
|
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
|
|
|
|
|
static_configs:
|
|
|
|
|
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where `my.server.here` is the IP address of Synapse, and `port` is
|
|
|
|
|
the listener port configured with the `metrics` resource.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your prometheus is older than 1.5.2, you will need to replace
|
|
|
|
|
`static_configs` in the above with `target_groups`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Restart Prometheus.

## Monitoring workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To monitor a Synapse installation using
|
|
|
|
|
[workers](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/workers.md),
|
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To allow collecting metrics from a worker, you need to add a
|
|
|
|
|
`metrics` listener to its configuration, by adding the following
|
|
|
|
|
under `worker_listeners`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
- type: metrics
|
|
|
|
|
bind_address: ''
|
|
|
|
|
port: 9101
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `bind_address` and `port` 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 `http://127.0.0.1:9101`.

## Renaming of metrics & deprecation of old names in 1.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synapse 1.2 updates the Prometheus metrics to match the naming
|
|
|
|
|
convention of the upstream `prometheus_client`. The old names are
|
|
|
|
|
considered deprecated and will be removed in a future version of
|
|
|
|
|
Synapse.

Removal of deprecated metrics & time based counters becoming histograms in 0.31.0
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The duplicated metrics deprecated in Synapse 0.27.0 have been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All time duration-based metrics have been changed to be seconds. This
|
|
|
|
|
affects:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| msec -> sec metrics |

Several metrics have been changed to be histograms, which sort entries

into buckets and allow better analysis. The following metrics are now

Block and response metrics renamed for 0.27.0
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synapse 0.27.0 begins the process of rationalising the duplicate
|
|
|
|
|
`*:count` metrics reported for the resource tracking for code blocks and
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP requests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the same time, the corresponding `*:total` metrics are being renamed,
|
|
|
|
|
as the `:total` suffix no longer makes sense in the absence of a
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding `:count` metric.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following table shows the new metrics, and the old metrics which
|
|
|

Standard Metric Names
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of synapse version 0.18.2, the format of the process-wide metrics has
|
|
|
|
|
been changed to fit prometheus standard naming conventions. Additionally
|
|
|
|
|
the units have been changed to seconds, from miliseconds.
