Setting up local Metrics infrastructure
Metrics then can be used to monitor your running Nethermind nodes

Metrics Configuration

Nethermind metrics can be consumed by Prometheus/Grafana if configured in Metrics configuration category.

Metrics infrastructure

Enabling Metrics in Nethermind

Metrics can be enabled by simply passing --Metrics.Enabled true argument to the Docker containers,Nethermind.Runner or Nethermind.Launcher e.g. ./Nethermind.Runner --Metrics.Enabled true.
Metrics.PushGatewayUrl will need to be amended if pushgateway endpoint is not default.

Running sample configuration

1
git clone https://github.com/NethermindEth/metrics-infrastructure.git
Copied!
  • go to metrics-infrastructure directory
1
cd metrics-infrastructure
Copied!
  • run docker stack
1
docker-compose up -d
Copied!
  • run the Nethermind node with Metrics enabled and you should see metrics inflowing on Pushgateway url​
You can add nethermind service to the docker-compose.yml file so that it runs with the whole stack

  • open Grafana url and login with default login (admin) and password (admin), skip password change if you want
  • you can now explore metrics and monitor your Nethermind node
