# Monitoring

UniConfig exposes multiple metrics for traffic and performance monitoring.

Output is generated in plaintext format:

• Plaintext response output from actuator/prometheus endpoint.

• Gauge - Reports the instantaneous value at a point in time (for example, queue size).
• Counter - Measures the total count for event occurrences.

• Gauges
  • io.frinx.uniconfig.manager.impl.task.TaskExecutorImpl.queue_size - Number of tasks in the queue waiting for execution
  • org.apache.sshd.server.SshServer.active_sessions - Number of active CLI sessions
  • org.opendaylight.controller.uniconfig.transaction.manager.api.UniconfigTransactionManager.open_transaction_count - Number of open transactions
• Counters
  • org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.common.RpcResult.rpc_invoke - All RPCs invoked by UniConfig
  • org.opendaylight.controller.uniconfig.transaction.manager.impl.UniconfigTransactionManagerImpl.transaction_invoke - All transactions invoked in UniConfig
  • io.frinx.uniconfig.shell.cli.SshTerminal.cli_message - All commands invoked in UniConfig shell

Configuration is performed via a section in the application.properties file:

# flag that determines if metrics will be reported or not
management.endpoint.prometheus.enabled=true
