Hi,
We are using eventstore at our company. We have some basic monitoring setup like CPU/ RAM and hardrive monitoring.
Now what can we monitor of eventstore to see if it is healthy and how much load it is processing.
Thx
Hi,
I don’t how you did it but at my current job, we are using a Prometheus exporter and use the exported metrics to provide a grafana dashboard and alerting.
Prometheus exporter: https://github.com/marcinbudny/eventstore_exporter
Grafana dashboard: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/7673
Among those metrics, you can find persistent subscription lags for example.
So if you look there are a ton of statistics which can be received via HTTP (get on call)/written to stream/other tools (including just appending files!). These statistics are gathered on increment by ES itself for the stream (you can control frequency and/or get them on demand from outside). --stats-period-sec IIRC controls the frequency.
The real question is if you want the numbers from ES or from something else. On some things it would be decidedly better … say CPU usage … to have something else providing the information directly instead of getting it from ES (why should be obvious here :-D).
