Kong prometheus on heroku

#1

Hi Team , We are trying to use Prometheus plugin in the Heroku kong app. I have followed instruction mention on this page (https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/prometheus/). but Still I don’t see all metrics details
I am only getting below details

HELP kong_nginx_http_current_connections Number of HTTP connections

TYPE kong_nginx_http_current_connections gauge

kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“accepted”} 8
kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“active”} 1
kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“handled”} 8
kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“reading”} 0
kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“total”} 8
kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“waiting”} 0
kong_nginx_http_current_connections{state=“writing”} 1

HELP kong_nginx_metric_errors_total Number of nginx-lua-prometheus errors

TYPE kong_nginx_metric_errors_total counter

kong_nginx_metric_errors_total 0

This is on heroku kong app , is there something additional I need to setup to get full metrics details ?

Is traffic flowing through Kong once you have enabled the Prometheus plugin in Kong?

Hi , Thanks for replying. Yes it does.

  1. Make sure you have enabled the plugin in Kong.
  2. Make sure the node you are hitting /metrics on, is actually receiving traffic and routing it.
