How to monitor Synapse metrics using Prometheus
===============================================
1. Install prometheus:
Follow instructions at http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/
2. Enable synapse metrics:
Simply setting a (local) port number will enable it. Pick a port.
prometheus itself defaults to 9090, so starting just above that for
locally monitored services seems reasonable. E.g. 9092:
Add to homeserver.yaml::
metrics_port: 9092
Also ensure that ``enable_metrics`` is set to ``True``.
Restart synapse.
3. 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:9092"]
If your prometheus is older than 1.5.2, you will need to replace
``static_configs`` in the above with ``target_groups``.
Restart prometheus.
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 they are
replacing.

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.
================================== =============================
New name Old name
================================== =============================
process_cpu_user_seconds_total process_resource_utime / 1000
process_cpu_system_seconds_total process_resource_stime / 1000
process_open_fds (no 'type' label) process_fds
================================== =============================
The python-specific counts of garbage collector performance have been renamed.
