Metrics
Tunnel metrics show a Cloudflare Tunnel’s throughput and resource usage over time. When you run a tunnel, you can configure cloudflared
to spin up a Prometheus metrics endpoint — an HTTP server that exposes metrics in Prometheus ↗ format. You can then use the Prometheus toolkit on a remote machine to scrape metrics data from the cloudflared
server.
Perform these steps on the cloudflared
server.
-
Use the —metrics flag to create a metrics endpoint at the specified IP address and port. Here is an example command for a locally-managed tunnel:
Terminal window cloudflared tunnel --metrics 127.0.0.1:60123 run my-tunnelTo learn how to add the
--metrics
flag to a remotely-managed tunnel, refer to Configure a remotely-managed tunnel.
- Verify that the metrics server is running by going to
http://localhost:60123/metrics
. This will only work if you configured a localhost IP (127.0.0.1
or0.0.0.0
).
You can now export the metrics to Prometheus and Grafana in order to visualize and query the data. Refer to our tutorial for instructions on getting started with these tools.
