Fields

add_go_metrics

Whether to export Go runtime metrics such as GC pauses in addition to Redpanda Connect metrics.

Type: bool

Default: false

add_process_metrics

Whether to export process metrics such as CPU and memory usage in addition to Redpanda Connect metrics.

Type: bool

Default: false

file_output_path

An optional file path to write all prometheus metrics on service shutdown.

Type: string

Default: ""

histogram_buckets[]

Timing metrics histogram buckets (in seconds). If left empty defaults to DefBuckets (https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus#pkg-variables). Applicable when use_histogram_timing is set to true.

Type: float

Default: []

push_basic_auth

The Basic Authentication credentials.

Type: object

push_basic_auth.password

The Basic Authentication password.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration.

Type: string

Default: ""

push_basic_auth.username

The Basic Authentication username.

Type: string

Default: ""

push_interval

The period of time between each push when sending metrics to a Push Gateway.

Type: string

push_job_name

An identifier for push jobs.

Type: string

Default: benthos_push

push_url

An optional Push Gateway URL to push metrics to.

Type: string

summary_quantiles_objectives[]

A list of timing metrics summary buckets (as quantiles). Applicable when use_histogram_timing is set to false.

Type: object

Default:

- error: 0.05
  quantile: 0.5
- error: 0.01
  quantile: 0.9
- error: 0.001
  quantile: 0.99
# Examples:
summary_quantiles_objectives:
  - error: 0.05
    quantile: 0.5
  - error: 0.01
    quantile: 0.9
  - error: 0.001
    quantile: 0.99

summary_quantiles_objectives[].error

Permissible margin of error for quantile calculations. Precise calculations in a streaming context (without prior knowledge of the full dataset) can be resource-intensive. To balance accuracy with computational efficiency, an error margin is introduced. For instance, if the 90th quantile (0.9) is determined to be 100ms with a 1% error margin (0.01), the true value will fall within the [99ms, 101ms] range.)

Type: float

Default: 0

summary_quantiles_objectives[].quantile

Quantile value.

Type: float

Default: 0

use_histogram_timing

Whether to export timing metrics as a histogram, if false a summary is used instead. When exporting histogram timings the delta values are converted from nanoseconds into seconds in order to better fit within bucket definitions. For more information on histograms and summaries refer to: https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/histograms/.

Type: bool

Default: false

Push gateway

The field push_url is optional and when set will trigger a push of metrics to a Prometheus Push Gateway once Redpanda Connect shuts down. It is also possible to specify a push_interval which results in periodic pushes.

The Push Gateway is useful for when Redpanda Connect instances are short lived. Do not include the "/metrics/jobs/…​" path in the push URL.

If the Push Gateway requires HTTP Basic Authentication it can be configured with push_basic_auth.
