hi,

i am using kong 2.0.3 db-less version in kubernetes. i have configured prometheus plugin for monitoring it.

1. 
# HELP kong\_datastore\_reachable Datastore reachable from Kong, 0 is unreachable

# TYPE kong\_datastore\_reachable gauge

kong\_datastore\_reachable 1

kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_core\_db\_cache”} 831488  
kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_core\_db\_cache\_2”} 794624

kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_core\_db\_cache\_miss\_2”} 86016

kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_db\_cache\_miss\_2”} 86016

kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_total\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_core\_db\_cache”} 134217728  
kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_total\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_core\_db\_cache\_2”} 134217728

kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_total\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_core\_db\_cache\_miss\_2”} 12582912

kong\_memory\_lua\_shared\_dict\_total\_bytes{shared\_dict=“kong\_db\_cache\_miss\_2”} 12582912

[why it is giving db reachability is 1 and other db related metrics when i am using db-less mode of kong]

can we update plugin metrics to not show these metrics for db-less mode?

Thanks & Regards,

This is an oversight on our end. Can you please open an issue in the [plugin repository](https://github.com/kong/kong-plugin-prometheus)?

Can you share more details on how you have configured kong and also share the configuration itself?

Please make sure that the plugin is enabled and kong is actively proxying requests when you call the `/metrics` endpoint.
