Setting up local Metrics infrastructure

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
clone metrics-infrastructure repository
git clone https://github.com/NethermindEth/metrics-infrastructure.git
go to metrics-infrastructure directory
cd metrics-infrastructure
run docker stack
docker-compose up -d
Prometheus instance should be now running on http://localhost:9090/​
Pushgateway on http://localhost:9091/​
Grafana on http://localhost:3000/``
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
nethermind:
    image: nethermind/nethermind
    container_name: nethermind
    restart: unless-stopped
    command: '--config goerli --Metrics.Enabled true'
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
        - ./nethermind_db/:/nethermind/nethermind_db/
        - ./keystore/:/nethermind/keystore/
        - ./logs/:/nethermind/logs/
Runner
Launcher
Docker
./Nethermind.Runner --Metrics.Enabled true
./Nethermind.Launcher --Metrics.Enabled true
docker run -it --network host nethermind/nethermind:alpine --Metrics.Enabled
Could not load image
http://localhost:9091/
open Grafana url and login with default login (admin) and password (admin), skip password change if you want
go to dashboards management http://localhost:3000/dashboardsand click Nethermind
you can now explore metrics and monitor your Nethermind node
