Traefik

Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: traefik

Overview

This collector monitors Traefik servers.

This collector is supported on all platforms.

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

This integration doesn't support auto-detection.

Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.

Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per entrypoint, protocol

These metrics refer to the endpoint.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

Metric	Dimensions	Unit
traefik.entrypoint_requests	1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx	requests/s
traefik.entrypoint_request_duration_average	1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx	milliseconds
traefik.entrypoint_open_connections	a dimension per HTTP method	connections

Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.

Setup

Prerequisites

  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1:8082/metrics

Basic HTTP auth

Local server with basic HTTP authentication.

Config

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1:8082/metrics
    username: foo

Multi-instance

Note: When you define multiple jobs, their names must be unique.

Local and remote instances.

Config

jobs:
  - name: local
    http://127.0.0.1:8082/metrics

  - name: remote
    http://192.0.2.0:8082/metrics

Troubleshooting

Debug Mode

To troubleshoot issues with the traefik collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.

• Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].

  cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/

• Switch to the netdata user.

  sudo -u netdata -s

• Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:

  ./go.d.plugin -d -m traefik
