Metrics

/metrics

Use the metrics node to collect important data about your website such as number of processes and outgoing traffic.

Before You Start

The metrics node supports Bearer token and API key authentication.

API Keys

If you wish to monitor the health, metrics, and stats nodes from an orchestrator, Bearer tokens are not the best option for ongoing checks as they expire every 7 days. To mediate this, you can use an API key, which can be set using the WA_API_KEY environment variable in the waweb environment section in the .yml file of your installation setup.
services:
...
  waweb:
  ...
    environment:
    ...
    WA_API_KEY: your-api-key-token
The API key you set must have a minimum of 12 characters and a maximum of 128 characters. The Webapp must be restarted whenever you change the API key.

Retrieving

Make a GET request to this edge to get website data in JSON or Prometheus format.

Example

JSON Format

GET /metrics
{
  Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token | Apikey your-api-key-token
}

As an example, the response might look like this:
