## Pool metrics exporter

The Mayastor pool metrics exporter runs as a sidecar container within every io-engine pod and exposes pool usage metrics in Prometheus format. These metrics are exposed on port 9502 using an HTTP endpoint /metrics and are refreshed every five minutes.

### Supported pool metrics

| Name | Type | Unit | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| disk_pool_total_size_bytes | Gauge | Integer | Total size of the pool |
| disk_pool_used_size_bytes | Gauge | Integer | Used size of the pool |
| disk_pool_status | Gauge | Integer | Status of the pool (0, 1, 2, 3) = {"Unknown", "Online", "Degraded", "Faulted"} |
| disk_pool_committed_size | Gauge | Integer | Committed size of the pool in bytes |

{% tab title="Example metrics" %}
```text
# HELP disk_pool_status disk-pool status
# TYPE disk_pool_status gauge
disk_pool_status{node="worker-0",name="mayastor-disk-pool"} 1
# HELP disk_pool_total_size_bytes total size of the disk-pool in bytes
# TYPE disk_pool_total_size_bytes gauge
disk_pool_total_size_bytes{node="worker-0",name="mayastor-disk-pool"} 5.360320512e+09

## Stats exporter metrics

When [eventing](reference/call-home.md) is activated, the stats exporter operates within the **obs-callhome-stats** container, located in the **callhome** pod. The statistics are made accessible through an HTTP endpoint at port `9090`, specifically using the `/stats` route.


### Supported stats metrics

| Name | Type | Unit | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| pools_created |  Guage | Integer | Total successful pool creation attempts |
| pools_deleted | Guage | Integer | Total successful pool deletion attempts |
| volumes_created | Guage | Integer | Total successful volume creation attemtps |
| volumes_deleted | Guage | Integer | Total successful volume deletion attempts |

## Integrating exporter with Prometheus monitoring stack

1. To install, add the Prometheus-stack helm chart and update the repo.

{% tab title="Command" %}
```text
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
```
{% endtab %}

Then, install the Prometheus monitoring stack and set prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues to false. This enables Prometheus to discover custom ServiceMonitor for Mayastor.

{% tab title="Command" %}
```text
helm install mayastor prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -n mayastor --set prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false
```
{% endtab %}

2. Next, install the ServiceMonitor resource to select services and specify their underlying endpoint objects.

{% tab title="ServiceMonitor YAML" %}
```text
apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
  name: mayastor-monitoring
  labels:
    app: mayastor
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mayastor
  endpoints:
  - port: metrics
```
{% endtab %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Upon successful integration of the exporter with the Prometheus stack, the metrics will be available on the port 9090 and HTTP endpoint /metrics.
{% endhint %}
