Prometheus integration
Prometheus integration is enabled by default for all HTTP outbound connectors, and is enabled for outbound connectors compatible with Aerospike 5.0 and later, and JMS Inbound 2.0 and later, when the manage
subsection in the service
section is configured in the connector's configuration file. The REST endpoint to integrate with Prometheus is manage/rest/v1/prometheus
.
For an HTTP outbound connector, the service port and manage port are the same.
Prometheus Configuration for an Aerospike Connectorโ
The scrape_configs section of Prometheus configuration has to point to the Aerospike Connector's manage REST API endpoint.
...
scrape_configs:
- job_name: aerospike-connect
metrics_path: /manage/rest/v1/prometheus
static_configs:
targets: # List of Manage Endpoints of all Aerospike Connectors exposing Prometheus metrics.
- outbound-connector-1:8081
- outbound-connector-2:8081
- jms-inbound-1:8081
- jms-inbound-2:8081

Aerospike Connector's Metrics available in Prometheusโ
The metrics are exported with the connector name prefixed to the metric name.
For example, the connections
metric of an outbound connector is exported as aerospike_jms_outbound_connections
,
aerospike_kafka_outbound_connections
, aerospike_pulsar_outbound_connections
, aerospike_xdr_proxy_connections
in JMS, Kafka,
Pulsar, XDR Proxy outbound connectors respectively and aerospike_jms_inbound_jms_connections
in JMS Inbound
connector.
In the following tables {connector_name} is used as a placeholder for the connector name.
Replace it with one of the applicable connector names
aerospike_jms_outbound
, aerospike_kafka_outbound
, aerospike_pulsar_outbound
,
aerospike_xdr_proxy
or aerospike_jms_inbound
in your use-case.
Connector exposes several metrics. We have only highlighted some of the important ones here.
Countersโ
A counter is a cumulative metric that represents a single monotonically increasing counter whose value can only increase or be reset to zero on restart.

- the
jms-destination-type
is one of the valid JMS destinations:queue
ortopic
- the
jms-destination-name
is a name given to that destination. For example, aerospike_jms_inbound_consumer{status="active",source="queue:apple_queue"}.

Histogramsโ
Histograms calculate the distribution of a value and display the total count of the metric, maximum value, minimum value, mean value, and values at various quantiles (99%, 95%, etc).

---|---|
{connector_name}_record_payload_size | Size of records received by the connector in Bytes. |
Timersโ
Timers time the processing of tasks. A timer metric aggregates timing durations and returns duration statistics, plus throughput statistics and reports the total count of the metric, maximum time, minimum time, mean time, times at various quantiles (99%, 95%, etc), and mean throughput value and one-minute, five-minute, and fifteen-minute moving average throughput values.
Name | Description |
---|---|
{connector_name}_record_ack_queue | Time spent by a processed XDR record in the ack-queue waiting to be acked to Aerospike XDR source. |
{connector_name}_record_dispatch | Time spent dispatching an XDR record to the external system being used, such as JMS, Kafka, or Pulsar. |
{connector_name}_record_parsing | Time spent parsing an XDR record. |
{connector_name}_requests_total | Total time a XDR record has spent in the connector. |
Grafana Integrationโ
Grafana dashboards can be integrated with Prometheus.
Grafana dashboards are packaged as JSON in the outbound connectors and can be imported.
