Monitoring Metrics

Redpanda exports metrics through Prometheus endpoints, /public_metrics and /metrics. To learn how to monitor Redpanda, see Monitor Redpanda or Monitor in Kubernetes.

Use /public_metrics 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 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.
