@gshill Thanks for bringing up the topic. We consider adding descriptions to the Prometheus metrics in the future. :+1:
Somewhat related, perhaps deserves separate ticket: I could not find metrics usable for alerting, eg count of messages that JSON extractor failed to parse, message count submitted to/rejected by Elastic eg because of indexing errors. Note that Prometheus metric names could be somewhat self-explainatory, see more here -- for example gl_buffer_usage
isn't clear about the unit, what is it being counted here?
Any news on this? Personally, I like the amount of metrics available, but it's totally unclear how to monitor+graph them.
Please provide documentation about Graylog metrics for use in Grafana
What?
The Prometheus exporter grabs metrics from Graylog for use in Grafana. I am trying to create some dashboards in Grafana based on those metrics, but no where on Graylog's site/documentation are there any clues as to what they all mean.
Here is a short screen shot:![Screen Shot 2022-07-29 at 7 34 20 AM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/94015516/182166731-2ca6f50e-58d0-4f09-ae83-88e34f9ae361.png)
Why?
I can't make dashboards for context that I do not fully understand what they are pulling
