Redpanda exports metrics through Prometheus endpoints, `/public_metrics` and `/metrics`. To learn how to monitor Redpanda, see [Monitor Redpanda](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/25.1/manage/monitoring/) or [Monitor in Kubernetes](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/25.1/manage/kubernetes/monitoring/).

> 💡 **TIP**
>
> Use [/public\_metrics](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/25.1/reference/public-metrics-reference/) for your primary dashboards for monitoring system health. These metrics have low cardinality and are designed for customer consumption, with aggregated labels for better performance. **Public metrics use the `redpanda_` prefix.**
>
> Use [/metrics](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/25.1/reference/internal-metrics-reference/) for detailed analysis and debugging. These metrics can have high cardinality with thousands of series, providing granular operational insights. **Internal metrics use the `vectorized_` prefix.**
