Transformer Prometheus metrics

This page lists the Prometheus metrics published by Transformer.

Prometheus metrics are not published by default. To enable this feature, see Publishing DataSource metrics in Prometheus format.

This feature requires Transformer 7.1.10 or higher.

Process metrics

Transformer publishes the following metrics on the operating-system process that runs Transformer.

These metrics are only available on RHEL builds of Transformer.

process_cpu_seconds_total: [gauge] Total user and system CPU time spent in seconds.
process_max_fds: [gauge] Maximum number of open file descriptors.
process_open_fds: [gauge] Number of open file descriptors.
process_start_time_seconds: [gauge] Start time of the process since the unix epoch in seconds.
process_virtual_memory_bytes: [gauge] Virtual memory size in bytes.
process_virtual_memory_max_bytes: [gauge] Maximum amount of virtual memory available in bytes.

System metrics

Transformer publishes the following CPU, memory, and process metrics, where appname is Transformer’s application name, as defined by the application-name configuration item (defaults to transformer).

transformer_system_cputime_total: [gauge] The total amount of time (seconds) the CPU has spent running the DataSource process. This value is the sum of transformer_system_system_cputime_total and transformer_system_user_cputime_total.
transformer_system_system_cputime_total: [gauge] The total amount of time (seconds) the CPU has spent running kernel-space code for the DataSource process.
transformer_system_user_cputime_total: [gauge] The total amount of time (seconds) the CPU has spent running user-space code for the DataSource process.
transformer_system_process_uptime: [gauge] Elapsed 'wall clock' time (seconds) since the DataSource process was started.
transformer_system_memory_usage: [gauge] The total amount of virtual memory (kilobytes) used by the DataSource process, as reported by the VmRSS value in /proc/<pid>/status.
transformer_system_cpu_usage: [gauge] Average CPU percentage used by the DataSource process in the period configured by the configuration option process-usage-period (default 10 seconds).

DataSource peer metrics

Transformer publishes the following metrics on connected DataSource peers, where where appname is Transformer’s application name as defined by the application-name configuration item (defaults to transformer).

transformer_peer_global_bytes_read: [gauge] Total number of bytes read from all peer connections.
transformer_peer_global_bytes_read_rate: [gauge] The rate data is received (bytes/second) from all peer connections, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_peer_global_bytes_written: [gauge] Total number of bytes written to peer connections.
transformer_peer_global_bytes_written_rate: [gauge] The rate data is written (bytes/second) to all peer connections, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_peer_global_messages_read: [gauge] Total number of messages read from peer connections.
transformer_peer_global_messages_read_rate: [gauge] The rate messages are received (messages/second) from all peer connections, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_peer_global_messages_written: [gauge] Total number of messages written to peer connections.
transformer_peer_global_messages_written_rate: [gauge] The rate messages are written (messages/second) to all peer connections, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.

Data service metrics

Transformer publishes the following metrics for each data service, where appname is Transformer’s application name as defined by application-name (defaults to transformer) and servicename is the name of the data service.

transformer_service_servicename_average_response_time: [gauge] The average time (milliseconds) taken for the data service to respond to a subscription request, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_service_servicename_bytes_read: [gauge] Total number of bytes read from the data service.
transformer_service_servicename_bytes_read_rate: [gauge] The rate at which data is received (bytes/second) from the data service, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_service_servicename_bytes_written: [gauge] Total number of bytes written to the data service.
transformer_service_servicename_bytes_written_rate: [gauge] The rate at which data is written (bytes/second) to the data service, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_service_servicename_messages_read: [gauge] The total number of messages received from the data service.
transformer_service_servicename_messages_read_rate: [gauge] The rate at which messages are received (messages/second) from the data service, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_service_servicename_messages_written: [gauge] The total number of messages written to the data service.
transformer_service_servicename_messages_written_rate: [gauge] The rate at which messages are written (messages/second) to the data service, measured over the sample period defined by peer-monitor-interval.
transformer_service_servicename_response_time: [gauge] The time taken (seconds) for the data service to respond to the first subscription request. This value only changes if the object is discarded and requested again.
transformer_service_servicename_state: [gauge] The state of the data service. It has two possible values: 1 for up, 0 for down.
