This documentation describes the usage of Prometheus Metrics Plugin. It is available in different languages and versions, which can be selected in the menu on the right.
\nIn SCM Manager, many components collect metrics that provide useful information and can give insight into the usage of the system. This plugin provides these metrics for the monitoring system Prometheus.
\nTo configure Prometheus for use with the plugin, the endpoint must be made known to Prometheus. This can be done either via one of Prometheus's service discovery mechanisms or via the static configuration in prometheus.yml. In the following we show the configuration using the static configuration. For more information on Prometheus configuration, have a look at the Prometheus Documentation.
