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/](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?

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.
