<p><span dir="auto"><span class="autocomment">Configure prometheus</span></span></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> Prometheus is an &quot;open-source monitoring system with a dimensional data model, flexible query language, efficient time series database and modern alerting approach&quot;.<br /> <br /> Minetest has built-in support for prometheus, allowing you to see metrics about your server - such as player count and performance information.<br /> <br /> Here are some examples of Grafana dashboards created using Prometheus:<br /> <br /> - [https://monitor.rubenwardy.com/d/9TgIegyGk/ctf monitor.rubenwardy.com]<br /> - [https://monitoring.minetest.land/ monitoring.minetest.land] (note: this contains heavy mondifications)<br /> <br /> == Using Prometheus in Minetest ==<br /> <br /> === Get or build the prometheus-cpp library ===<br /> <br /> You may be able to find prometheus-cpp in your distro's package manager. <br /> Otherwise, you'll need to build it and make it available to Minetest.<br /> <br /> Here's how you do that on Linux:<br /> <br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;cd /tmp<br /> git clone --recursive https://github.com/jupp0r/prometheus-cpp<br /> mkdir prometheus-cpp/build<br /> cd prometheus-cpp/build<br /> cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_TESTING=0<br /> make -j$(nproc)<br /> sudo make install&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> === Build Minetest ===<br /> <br /> Now, you need build minetest with Prometheus enabled<br /> <br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;cmake . -DENABLE_PROMETHEUS=1<br /> make -j$(nproc)&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> === Configure prometheus ===<br /> <br /> Prometheus will make HTTP requests to Minetest's prometheus-cpp library to get the metrics.<br /> <br /> You can set the prometheus listen address by assigning an IP:PORT in the minetest.conf:<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;&lt;pre&gt;prometheus_listener_address = 127.0.0.1:30000&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> == Grafana == <br /> <br /> You can link up Prometheus to Grafana to make nice web graphs. For example:<br /> [https://monitor.rubenwardy.com/d/r6cCl68mk/minetest-servers monitor.rubenwardy.com]<br /> <br /> To do: example layouts</div>
